Rally yellow is not metallic nor is it orange/gold tinted like Sunrise. I was actually trying to figure out the other day if it was possible to put a gold/orange tinted pearl'ish clear coat on Rally Yellow to tone it down so it was closer to Sunrise but decided it would look like crap without the metallic base.



Well your 4 year old might have a real bright future ahead of him if he can decifer these two shades of yellow and convince you not to purchase a car because it doesn't match his transformers toy. I would say he is in the minority of the minority. I can tell you that my 3 year old has no clue that the Bumble Bee is not even real much less be able to debate whether a car that's not even on the road is not the same color as one in a movie. Again, my point is that I don't think many outside of your young lad will argue the color difference.

So what color does he suggest?
