Folks have posted in this thread and elsewhere that Dupli-Color (Duplicolor) School Bus Yellow is a good match for the old cadet yellow. Its not, or not anymore. I had my carb and tank off to rebuild and clean and seeing that the Dupli-Color was a good match, ran to Pep Boys to pick up a can to shoot the tank, air cover, and some other parts. The cap looks close but the actual paint is way off. See photo. I thought this can must be a bad batch to be so far off from the cap color, so picked up a second can from a different store (O'Reilly) with different packaging and got the same way off pale yellow color. Maybe they changed their formula but I definitely do not recommend. What a waste of time and effort.
