I’m looking at a 2001 Spa Yellow S2000, but it needs the front/rear bumpers repainted for sure, and maybe some other small work depending.

I’ve been told that yellow is hard to color match, and if it is, I may pass on the car, as I do not have the time or energy, and if the whole car needs resprayed, the car would no longer be a decent deal.

I understand it might not match 100%, but I would like it to be close enough that I won’t notice it every single day. I can prep it, just need it sprayed to match. Obviously I’m willing to pay for a perfect match.

Anyone have any suggestions for places that have experience with yellow/hard to match colors?

We’ve had some work done there and they are great, did a beautiful job. Can’t even tell the car had work done, at all. Not sure about price, ours was insurance work.

I PM’ed Mark before I posted the thread, but he hasn’t gotten back to me. I’ll just call the shop tomorrow.

I know that I might not get a 100% match, and I’m fine with that, but I would like it to be close enough that people don’t walk by and go “holy fuck that needs painted!”

Johnny is one of the nicest guys I ever met… they do awesome work, he is a very good family friend, if you live out there defiantly use him!
