Cat grey/red color source?? was created by tomseabee

Hi,

Is there a American source and color codes for Caterpillar grey and red? I've got a yellow 1928 model Thirty that needs to be made right. I found a earlier thread that listed a color code but it appeared to be a international source.

Thanks,
Tom

You can get the Federal Standard numbers someplace on this web site. I took them to a couple of local paint suppliers and they matched the color for me. I used Nasson which is Dupont's lower price line of Urethane. It is about the same price as Centari and holds up very well.
