Chrome Yellow/Canary Yellow

[5.0_GT_kid]

Hey guys I was just wondering if Chrome and Canary yellow are the same except for the name. I've never had one of each next to each other to compare.

mistake, nevermind this post...

Yep, they are the same. It is paint code BZ and it was called canary yellow on the 94-95's and chrome yellow on the '98's. There are somewhere around 8-9 slight variations of this color though. They are subtle, but they are definitely noticeable when two cars are parked near each other.

That's called paint fade, buddy. Park a garage kept 94 next to one that's been inside most of its life and you'll see some variation!

I :worship: Canary Yellow. Much better than the newer, paler Zinc yellow on the new Stangs and MUCH better than the school-bus yellow that GM uses on the Cavaliers and Azteks.

Zinc Yellow....
Too pale looking IMO...like a badly faded Chrome/Canary Yellow...

Jordan, there really are a few variations of the BZ paint code. I owned a 95GT convertible AODE car and then bought my current one. I had the luxury of having them parked next to each other and they were definitely different. Whne I had the ground effect painted they too informed me of the multiple variations in the color. Its not paint fade, although that can do it as well.

I LOVE the new screaming yellow on the mustangs, it replaced the zinc this year, thank goodness.

Thankyou sir !

As you can see I've kept it completely stock in appearance including the suspension. I've gotten quite a few compliments on it since it looks like it just came off the showroom floor and that includes the under carriage as well.

It only see's the summer months up here in Canada so the mileage is also very low on it.

Now it just needs a driver to get the ET's it has the potential of getting

Yellow5.0Cobra: all I'm seeing are red x's.

Blown93: sweet vert !!

I have a gallon of 1990 ford "Race yellow" paint and it looks identical to the canary yellow.
