Default Koni yellow

Quick question I'm going to repaint my Konis as they are looking a bit tired but still do the job perfectly does anyone have a shade of yellow that they know is similar?

Cheers Billy

Lol that's funny I'm literally in the middle of giving my bilsteins a lick of paint just to freshen them up. They look a similar shad of yellow to konis and I found hammerite yellow was a pretty close match.

Bought a small tin out halfords for about £8.

I recently repainted my Koni Shocks and Eibach springs and got a good result with rubbing them down, primer and top coats of Holts Yellow HYE03. I also got some new small Koni stickers and they look almost new again. The springs are bright red.
