School Bus Color

An excellent color for modeling is Scale Coat TTX Yellow. I compared a model freight car painted in Scale Coat TTX Yellow and was an excellent match. TTX Yellow is a Model Train Paint

The proper colour is "National School Bus Chrome Yellow, Federal Standard 595a number 13432"  I used Humbrol Yellow #69 with a few drops of Humbrol Scarlet #60 added to the can. Basically I added red until it matched the colour on a small diecast school bus model I have. I prefer to use hobby paints, but I'm sure an auto paint supplier could mix up a spray can for you. Oh yeah, my bus...

Great looking bus, what scale is it?

Thanks for the info guys!

I'd rather not have to mix a color so I'll try giving the Krylon / DupliColor angle a try.

I'll be sure to post a picture of my project once I get it finished.
