Of course this level of paint using House of Kolor Paint (Valspar's formal name for it) and the number of manhours needed to create it are well beyond the scope and pocketbook of the average guy trying to emulate the look of the BumbleBee. Plus paint jobs like this are for show cars that will never see chipseal or a rainy day

I would be happy with a paintjob that emulated the look, was durable and half the cost, I.E. stock Rally Yellow or perhaps even Velocity is good enough for me and my road car
