Default Poppy Yellow?

I'm always looking for spray can yellow for my YOM effort in California plates. How often do we look at the common RUST OLEUM brand in "marigold" or "golden sunset" colors. They caught my eye and matched my best plates very well.
What do you think? Fred A

I looked at Golden Sunset and found it a bit too light and Sun Yellow even more. The Ultra Cover line is the best match in luster. Even though these plates are 80+ years old, they age toward darker. the plate reverse side is a better standard. Now I need to get an ideal roller for the black. My wife ran the Disney paint lab. She worked in Burbank and China. She is my second opinion in matters of paint matching.

Good Luck: Fred A
