all paint companies have old cat yellow as part of their equipment enamel line up. and you can buy sample cards from the acmoc store. it is still used however for school buses and the like as DOT highway yellow. safety yellow is also very close. any paint shop can mix the colour for you from formula. and is available in lead or lead free formulations.

the secret is dont over thin it. use good quality thinners or shellite. remember 3 coats to get a full colour. with enamels it helps to mix up 4lt of colour at a time a empty paint tin is useful for this to give more consistent results.

"i reject your reality and substitute my own" - adam savage. i suspect my final words maybe "well shit, that didnt work"

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality

Finding a problem getting yellow paint for a D4 we're restoring right now.
Ended up using Rustoleum Caterpillar Yellow with some hardener added.

what's the benefit of going with enamel as opposed to a single stage urethane (or two stage urethane for that matter)?

I tried single stage urethane when I painted my d2 and didn't have very good results.  The urethane was considerably more expensive also

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
