That and the white.
I also heard that the Honda paint especially metalic stuff is hard to match. My prelude 00 was silver with a tint of purple. The body shop could never match the color and the way it fades.

Your right, it probably is the most difficult to apply properly, so you need to find a shop that will take the time to do it right. It is a four step process, white-pearl-yellow-clearcoat. It will tie up a paint booth for almost a week, if done right.
I only found this out when I went to get a car painted that color at a friends body shop (top quality shop), and he looked into it for me. I decided not to screw up his schedule with his booth since he was going to shoot it for free, not to mention the cost of the paint was $1200 vs $200 for what I eventually chose.

Yes it is a PITS to match....but if you find a good body shop they should be able to do it...have them take a "chromalin" that even allows for a little fading...

I had my bumper repainted and they did a exellent job. They used Dupont "spies" code #Y52P. It took 5 tries and a new bumper for them to get it right, but it sure looks good now.
