Rattle Can Yellow for Cub 149

[finsruskw]

I use Rustoleum Transport Yellow bought by the case from Home Depot and get a vet discount plus free shipping.
Use it on all the replacement parts we make.

It seems that several threads here discuss rattle can yellow paint. One of them, which I can't find now, had several people suggesting Rustoleum Farm Implement Yellow. Today I was in a Lowes and saw Krylon Farm Implement Yellow and decided to give it a try. It turned out to be much more yellow and less orange than what is on my cubs now.

Later I did some looking online. I now see that Rustoleum makes 3 different Farm Implement yellows. The 3 flavors are JD, Cat, and Transport. Transport looks the closest to CC original and has been recommended by others here. JD looks like what I bought today and is far off.

Edit: make that 4 versions, there is also New Holland yellow.

Some guys recommend Marigold yellow from Rustolium. That also looks close, as does some of their safety yellow. Their 15 minute quick dry professional safety yellow is further off than the Krylon was. Golden Sunset is just a little on the other side of the spectrum compared to what is currently on my cubs, but pretty close. It's just slightly more orange but that may be due to my original paint fading.

Below on the left is a part painted with the Krylon and on the right is Golden Sunset. I'm not endorsing this, just showing it for what it is. I'll keep my eyes open for some marigold or transport yellow. The tractor in the background below is a 100. Both pictures have the same rear end of the same 100 behind the color samples. It seems that the camera does a little automatic color correction to average out the balance. The two background colors should be the same

I've always used Marigold per rec'ds here, but it's 2X, not the farm & implement.

Now the off white is available in almond farm and implement.

I tried some 2x white on a seat and it scratched off pretty easily. I used the white appliance epoxy on some rims & that seems much more durable. It seems that the 2x varies. The red that I have used has held up much better than the white that I put on the seat. ...or perhaps, the base paint on the seat just didn't play well with the 2x? The base paint was an unknown type. It may be powder coat. I didn't strip it before painting.

Well, I found some Marigold, and I found out that not all 2x is the same. It turns out that it could be Painter's Touch or American Accent. The Marigold American Accent was sprayed on plastic and dried much faster than the painter's touch Golden Sunset on Steel. Both cans were labeled Gloss. The Marigold may have gotten more glossy if I did a second coat like the other one had. The background is still the same rear end of the same CC 100. I don't know if the paint on it is original or not. I've only owned it for about 10 years. It's prior history is not well known.
