   i no that smooth yellow hammerite is the same or near enough, but that not really for spraying to make things look good, it thick and messy stuff, try peugeot sundance yellow, that prob the same

   don't suppose any yellow would look to bad... wouldn't get compared that much?

    with the bits your painting will be fine with hammerite smooth yellow. i used blue hammerrite on all same parts and was fine and its hard wearing and doesn;t need lacquaring
