Very good, and thanks.
So it looks like the pearl first over the entire tank and then the yellow?
Perhaps the pin stripe and decal -then clear over the lot......
Is that how everyone else estimates the sequence?
Thanks again to all who have helped !

Cheers
james

The yellow on the A model is the same colour as the yellow on the B model.
Maybe there's a paint shop near you that can use a colour scan from another paint shop, so someone with the original yellow colour sample can get it scanned for you where they live and your paint shop can use that info somehow to make you up a rattle can.
You can get two-pack and acrylic lacquer colour matched paint in a rattle can at paint shops. My friend's TY250A was done with two pack rattle cans.
I painted a TY175C tank for a friend using paint shop colour matched rattle cans of acrylic lacquer and it looked great.

modern idea is to paint the pinstripe so:
Paint the tank black where the pinstripe goes
Use narrow masking tape where you want the pinstripe to go
Paint one of the colours (say yellow)
Mask over the yellow section
Paint the pearl section
Put the stickers on
Paint clear over the lot


relax, nothing is under control
