The color looks pretty close to me. It looks real close to the color we are using on our PL20.

thanks smokenrust. as for the fading, i am not much of a painter at all. but what little i do know, it all depends on the paint you use and i suppose exposure to sunlight does help either. i always use some sort of automotive paint and always use hardener as it seems to help. although my tractors stay inside, i have never had any to fade so far. if you are getting ready to paint i would consult someone at your local paint store. if your gonna take all that time in disassymbly and hard work cleaning your machine, do not, by no means, use cheap paint. savin a few bucks is not worth it. regards, eric

Automotive 2 pack paint resists fading very well, unlike enamels which tend to fade quite quickly.

So if this machine is stored away from UV, the colour will essentially reamin the same forever!

It looks very good too!!

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."
