Posted July 19, 20177 yr comment_526104 I've read conflicting information on a few boards about the differences between the modern formula for safari gold and how well it matches. Can anyone share specific experiences? It's a full reliant so color match isn't the issue, I only want to be in body shop jail once.

November 15, 20177 yr comment_535029 Arden, FWIW, here's a pic of my car taken in 1999 just before I tore it down for the resto. I'd say your test spray is pretty well on target.

November 15, 20213 yr comment_631597 Does this look close to safari gold to anybody else? It's the closest I found at the paint store. Going to paint my front door on the house with this in a satin finish. Thanks for any opinions.

Always a problem as every flatscreen monitor is different, but it's a bit to yellow? on the 240z (on the rear fender) it looks the correct color .. on the second to last pic) It needs just a little bit more brown?
