I would never own a yellow sports car, but there is something about Rio Yellow that makes you stare at it.

A photo of my Rio taken at a car show this summer. A little over exposed / processed (not sure the right term since I'm not the photographer)....but you can def see the pearl

Wish I could find a pic of a rio yellow w/ silver HT as I was entertaining this color scheme but would like to see one first if possible. Rio Yellow was not my first color choice but I found an impeccably clean one in Houston a few months ago and went with it. It's grown on me since and I'm quite happy with it. Not all cars can pull off this color for whatever reason but the S wears it well IMO.

Found out today that it is indeed a 3 stage paint code and not expensive at all (PPG Omni base plus) around $350 for all materials; Both bases, reducer, clear and hardener.

Wasn't sure I wanted Rio when I traded my Silverstone (only two cars were available, and the other was Sebring, a no-go). But I really love it.
