Why Sunfire Yellow got it's name
I had my car out today on a Fall sunny day and the paint was really glowing in the sunlight - sunfire was a very appropriate name selected for it. Took a few pictures but I have to say they don't really capture the full effect.

A yellow 66 big block coupe with knock offs is always my dream mid year.

Thanks.
If you haven't done so already, the next time you see a Sunfire car out in the full sun, go up and stare into the paint. You won't see your reflection or anything except a near-blinding, dazzling glow. It's kind of like staring directly into a 65 watt-equivalent LED daylight bulb.

Yellow may be a color that a lot of people wouldn't consider...…..until they looked at your car. That is simply gorgeous.

When I went to look at my 66 more than 5 yrs ago, I really doubted that I would want THAT color . I smile every time the sun shines on it & it gives off that glow.

A side note on yellow cars.
The next time you are at a car show, notice all the bugs that they attract!
(true fact! I own a Yellow car.)

I had that feeling when I had my Chevelle painted the original color silver. I thought I would not like it. but the more and more I was around it in all types of light and surroundings the more I felt its the best color for those cars
