old cat yellow is the colour available today. nearly all paint brands that have a equipment enamel range will have it. and its quite close to the original highway yellow that basically is what the school buses in America are painted as it was originally developed for the federal dept of transport. it was also used on road maintanence and construction vehicles.

any paint shop will have it and any farm equipment joint will be able to get as most stock bareco products. the cat dealers also have it available. the thing about yellow colours is they fade easily so no it wont look the same.

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality

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."
