Hey guys I just stumbled onto so info on another thread here. This info was even confirmed by fbodfather. The paint is called sunrise yellow. Look under Shimrin Paint. Made by Valspar. Code is PBC-30. Plus there is another person that clamed they have paint chip of the paint and aggress to the color appearance. I have asked for a copy to be mailed to me so I can see for my self. The father has spoken and I accept defeat with humility. The paint is around $70.00qt. I will show the paint chart I found. Look top left.

Here is the information we have been waiting for! If you haven't already seen it, pickup the November 2006 issue of HOT ROD magazine. There is a great story (with pictures) of Bumblebee in the making at Saleen in Troy, Michigan.
According to the story, there were two versions of Bumblebee built for filming. The first one was completed in 30 days and both done in less than 45 days. Fabrication was done at Saleen's 280,000 square foot facility in Troy, Michigan. Steve Minn, vehicle coordinator for the film, recommended Saleen because they had built the Cobras used in xXx.
GM looked to their inventory and found the current GTO was the closest to the concept Camaro in size. With data and some sections and wheelbase drawings from GM, Saleen began their fabrication. The two Pontiac GTOs came from GM's R&D fleet and Joe Miesak (Saleen) went to work.
The fiberglass bodies were cast using the same molds GM used to build the two concept cars.
The interior looks much like the concept Camaro because the dashboard shell covers the original GTO instrumentation and the seats and interior handles came directly from the GTO as well.
GM had a say in the paint work. Supplied by Valspar Automotive finishes, code PBC30 -- Sunrise Yellow, Bumblebees paint looks great!
They altered the original stripes planned by Saleen to more closely resemble the Rally stripes from the 1969 Camaro.

I have a very good memory. I am always a friendly guy. I just get assertive when I need to so that things stay on an even keel. It is something I do on a day to day basses. I am a Sergeant with the army stationed in Iraq for now and some times being assertive comes out away from work, but it does get results. By the way I never hold grudges. As far as I am concerned every thing is a dead issue. So that you can see what I look like to put a face with who you are talking to. Go to page 2 for general discussions. Look for the "Post your ugly mug for Indy". Page 10, post#207. The bald guy with rifle. That’s me. Put it like this. There was a guy that got out of hand at a bar I was at. He was yelling at his girl. I told him to chill, well in a much different way. When things calmed down I said to him “common I will buy you a drink, it is on me”.

Oh ok. Hey let me ask you...Do you know if the Rally Yellow or Inferno Orange come close to the PBC-30 Sunrise paint color?

[13F20]

No, not even close. I have a color pallet I will post so that you will see. If you want that color you are going to order it. I have been looking around to get it done my self and it will cost around $8-12K. Reason being. When you take the car to get the paint done, they will need to strip the car of the factory paint after they take it apart. A primer layer of white and three layers of PBC-30 "Pearl base coat-30" are then applied then the lacquer clear coat. Total job time 4-6 weeks, depending on the work load they have and how good they are. If you go to HOK, House of Kolor you will pay out the a$$, but they are the best at what they do. So you get what you pay for basically. Look top left.
