Enhancing Battle Blade Bumblebee

This is something I'm going to be working on, on-and-off. Battle Blade Bumblebee is an amazing and wonderful figure, but he's not perfect. I plan to make improvements to him here and there. A full-service paintjob including all the details.. Adjusting the axe to swing up perpendicular to the arm like it does in-game.. Integrating the missile racks from the first movie if I can.. Stuff like that. I've already taken the first step:

Painting the barrel of the Bumblebuster (as I have nicknamed his plasma cannon) to be metallic dark gray.

So... Question time. Can someone recommend an acrylic yellow that's a good match for a 2009 Camaro?

Testor’s flat yellow matches most movie Bees pretty well, but it’s an enamel so it may not be what you’re looking for.

What paint did you use on the plasma cannon? It looks great!

After my experience with them I trust Testors enamels about as far as I could throw a Buick.

And thanks! I used CraftSmart metallic dark gray acrylic.

I finally got around to painting the axe to better reflect its appearance in the game:
