FastPaul Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 Gentleman, I know I've already asked the queston on the original yellow for the B-1,But can anyone tell me what would be close in a can.Cat yelow is very close to the B-112 but seems to dark for the B-1. I looked for paint today, But everything seems to be to bright.I don't really want to go through the hassle of mixing up a gun for a project that you can only do a little bit at a time ,but I Want it to look close to original as posible Any suggestions?? Thanks
RayS Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 A paint supplier that stocks PPG paint can match the paint that you want and put it into spray cans for you. Take a piece of the tractor to them and they can match it. I think that I have read somewhere on here that NAPA will do it as well but I am not sure.
UCD Posted December 29, 2005 Posted December 29, 2005 Try New Equipment Yellow or New Cat Yellow The New cat yellow is lighter than the Old Cat Yellow.
goatfarmer Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 There was also Komatsu heavy equipment that was painted close to the AC color.
chuckb Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 I used school bus yellow to paint my b-112 chuckb
MPH Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 I used pre 1992 JD construction yellow on my 112. Thought it was pretty close at the time but after I took off the mower deck covers it's quite a bit more gold then the OEM.
Chris727 Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 There was some discussion of a Van Sickle spraypaint that was intended to match the original AC paint for the B-Series. It is special order only and last I heard they had not perfected the formula. I never bought any myself, ended up getting PPG for my B10, haven't sprayed it yet so I can't really say much about it.
FastPaul Posted December 30, 2005 Author Posted December 30, 2005 Guys thank you for all your help, after looking at alot of pics and what avalable to me I've decided to go with the old Cat yellow. It looks a lot better than rust. Thanks again!!
MPH Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 Will be waitting to see it. What did you use on the engine?
FastPaul Posted December 30, 2005 Author Posted December 30, 2005 Marty I used Cat yellow ,check out my post theres a couple of new pics there tonight
