The cat yellow in the picture has Rustoleum Auto Gray Sand able primer underneath same for the Valspar cub cadet yellow . I did not try to lighten it . Just sprayed both the same for a comparison .
I will say in my opinion the TSC Valspar is the better color match to the original IH paint color ( 123 ). But you can only tell this in direct sunlight . When I had the parts drying in the garage next to each other they looked extremely close hard to see a difference in color. I also think I am not trying to win any awards but to protect my 40 year old tractor , it cuts grass . The only way anyone could tell if the Old Cat Yellow was not original to this tractor is if a correctly painted Tractor was sitting alongside for a direct comparison . That said ,
My thinking for now since I have both colors and yellow covers so poorly , Primer first, Cat Yellow for my second coat and finish coat will be the TSC Valspar cub cadet yellow.
