I have one that I got from Vintage Vending back when they were doing restorations. I used it to restore the RC 81 you see on soda-machines.com. I will get it for you when I get back home after Christmas if that is the shade of yellow that you are looking for.

It is finally done! Used the ppg color thanks again for that!  :) I used rust-oleum glossy sunrise red for the lettering.  Turned out pretty good. Glad to see a rare piece like this come back to life!

Even upside down it looks great.  That RC yellow really pops.

If you are holding it horizontally, hold the phone with the volume buttons facing down.   :tounge:

Yeah - it's a little counter-intuitive.   Odd for an Apple product.
