I'm fixing to paint my 943 what's the best place to get cat yellow and best way to clean and prep to paint I have never painted any equipment just trailers and dump truck beds
your cat dealer has paint by the gallon, or the spray can, and no guess about right yellow, and price is right.
Cat yellow has changed a few times over the years. If unconcerned about the historic "correct" Cat yellow paint for your particular model it is hard to beat the dealers Cat paint.
D6 probably 7-9 gallons plus reducer based on what I have put on machines n the past. Higher the heat the slower the reducer and colder the faster otherwise just figure on two 5(US) gallon pails
May not help you much TCat, but our Cat dealer is asking AUD$51 for yellow Hi Gloss, same for yellow Hi Gloss fast drying, AUD$60 for yellow water reducible and AUD$47 for yellow primer.
These prices seem very competitive with other quality paints on the market here.
Next question is which is best to use and how much would it take to cover D6 size dozer?
Cheers, Greg
