Theers a racing yellow, and I think theres a tangerine that makes a nice overspray yellow color.
Im not a master painter. Just remember, as I posted earlier, they will crack slightly at the bends if you flex them 90 degrees, just as FP said. However theres two saving graces.
The paint doesnt peel, just crack. And if you bent other knees that far, youd be repainting new knees
I bent mine and they cracked a bit, but from 3 feet away you cant tell they have tiny cracks in the paint.
This link has some colors. The yellow is a tad orange yellow. Like corvette yellow.
Its callec bright yellow.
Here are some 'airbrush paints'

This daytona yellow is another color ive used. I think i overmisted with the flourescent orange or competition orange on thi same page. I would do silver, and then yellow/orange (light coats if possible) and then hand paint the creme around it in a acrylic.
That will mean less paint.

Before you dremel too much. Flatten it out on a table. like in my top pictures. And then take your exacto and drag it along. Thats the best way to get a really nice edge all the way around. The only place you should have to dremel is enlarging the dart holes, and the seep line if it bothers you.

Ok, that time is now here. The molds are starting to leave small textures on the knees. Right now they are not very telling. Only one pair has it, and you can _barely_ see it. Only in direct light.
But that means the molds going to be dead very soon. Im closing pp's now, and shipping what I have. Then ill take photos of each knee pull as it comes out and sell them individually.
If I have enough to do a set of 10 yellow special order knees, ill make another mold. If not, ill wait a few months and make another.
Updates on availability tonight.

I have what looks like two pristine pairs of yellow knees that are un-spoke for.
They are 95 shipped us, 100 outside.
Im going to bake the mold tonight and see what shakes out.
The only two people whos knees havent shipped that have paid is fettdad and wolfie. because they are getting foam parts also that werent with me today when I shipped.
Ohh and 99 cent tacos pair from the karma thread.
If someone watns the yellow pricey knees, pm me. Otherwise they will go into the 'mike mason has too much **** laying around to make his own boba fett fund'.

List updated, the tracking numbers/delivery confirmations are on my desk at work. ill try to post them tomorrow.
I have 1 set of yellow knees on hand. I have no more sets unless your name says ready to ship. Im baking the mold, if it works, ill get about 5 more sets out of it. if not, bubye rubber knee mold. Ill make another but it wont be a rush job. Best guess? Mid november.
If you want the last pair of yellow, pm me.

Well
..... Mold is dead.
The pairs I pulled today have slight slight slight creases in them.
Fettdad, Wolfie yours are the last two that arent pulled atm. Everyone else is pulled/shipped.
Im going to start on a new mold tomorrow. If things turn out well, ill have something workable by the end of the day, as long as nothing ive used in them inhibits platinum silicone. if it does, ill start the mold on monday, with a slower curing silicone, and it may be mid week before its ready to go.
When its done, im going to finish up the couple I owe and then run off only yellow and orange knees.
Im extremely dissapointed in the longevity of the silicone. And I intend to express my feelings to the company I purchased it from.

Mason,
I'll post photos of mine done up in ROTJ SE with the Pre-Pro left knee when I have access to my camera dock again. I'm pretty happy with them and now have a tough choice everytime I suit up between my original FPv3s and these!
Thanks!
