Your Paint Color Profile

AR116 - Pipe Yellow

The Look

This is pure 1970s energy. It's loud. It's unapologetic. You'll find it draped over the classic lines of the Spider, the GTV, and the Alfetta. This isn't a pale pastel or a modern neon. It is a warm, deep mustard-adjacent shade that defines a specific era of Italian motoring. It works because it demands attention without being tacky. It's a classic racing vibe that feels right at home in a sun-drenched Garage.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish. There are no metallic flakes or pearl shifts to distract the eye. While solids are easier to match than metallics, yellow pigments are notoriously thin. You might see the old surface through the first layer. Don't panic. Build the color slowly. Since there's no glitter to hide mistakes, cleanliness is your best friend. A single speck of dust will stand out. Work in a clean Shade and take your time.

Painter's Tip

First, find your confirmation. Look for a silver sticker on the underside of the trunk lid or the engine hood. Before you spray or dab Alfa-Romeo Pipe Yellow (check for code AR116), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This is non-negotiable. Heavy pigments settle at the bottom. Test the color on the included card to ensure the shade is right. When applying, keep the container moving to prevent pooling. Allow plenty of drying time between coats for a hard, durable finish.

How to Find Your Alfa-Romeo's Color Code

The Alfa-Romeo paint color code can be found on the trunk lid, inside the spare tire compartment, or in the rear storage area. If not found, Alfa-Romeo can be contacted to determine the color code. If there is no color code, the PPG or Dupont (Axalta) paint formula number can be requested.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
