Premixed cans of Caterpillar yellow is a near perfect match for Hustler yellow....
I took a deck pulley cover to the auto paint shop for a match.....
Seems they had spray cans of Cat yellow for 2.35 [tax included].
However he offered to custom match the color for 27.00 a quart and told me I was wasting money if I did.
He took a can off the shelf and sprayed it on the cover, guess what, it matched.
So...
I bought some grey primer to do the job right.
Feathered the damaged areas [rust, chipped paint] and masked them off.
The leading edge of mower deck was particularly nasty and there was also the normal wear and tear on the paint after about 3 hours work on 2 mowers they now look near new and professionally maintained.
The trailer is next....
