Averland Sunset spray alternative?

[ServoBadger]

Just a quick question, are there any spray paints from other companies that are close to Averland Sunset?

 

Thanks!

Maybe this one from army painter: https://www.waylandgames.co.uk/spray-primers/13485-desert-yellow-colour-primer-spray

 

If not you could always check Halfords. They do hundreds of different sprays and most of them really cheap too.

Vallejo do a yellow spray ("sun yellow") which is very similar and of good quality.

I've tried to find a cheap yellow rattle can to prime with and so far all I have is a satiny Rustoleum butternut squash color that, while $4 a can, isn't as matte as I'd like.  I keep meaning to stop by a legit hardware store like Home Depot and check if they've got a chicken fat or hazard stripe yellow primer.  There must be an automotive yellow primer out there.

 

For infantry I've found contrast yellow over white primer a nice base to layer Yuriel onto if that's the look you're going for, won't work as well on vehicles.

I'll second Marshal loss on the Vallejo can

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I've finally got hold of a can of Vallejo Sun Yellow, and while it's a very nice yellow, my can at least is much brighter than Averland Sunset.

 

Are there any other good alternatives?

My colour equivalence app coughed up tamiya camel yellow spray as a very close colour (TS-34 is the one suitable for models, the PS-19 version is for polycarbonate, e.g. RC cars). I've found a few other threads recommending it as an alternative to averland, and tamiya spray cans have a good reputation for coverage and a smooth coat, so worth a look. They apparently aren't a great primer on bare plastic, so it's recommended to give the model a light prime first with the tamiya primer or any other good white primer such as halfords - you don't need solid colour coverage, just enough of a pass for the tamiya to stick to.
