About Austin Yellow Metallic
Austin Yellow is a golden, mustard-leaning yellow metallic named after the Texas circuit. It belongs to the F80 M3 and F82/F83 M4 generation, where it was one of the more visible M-specific colors. Its metallic flake gives it a warmer, more golden tone than the later solid São Paulo Yellow.
