[QUOTE="rodbuilder, post: 99892, member: 11975"] I rehab a LOT of bobcats and gave up on making the guy at out Farm and Fleet or Menards try to mix up a white color for a Bobcat because it is SO close to the common, Rustoleum white, or, better yet, the Valspar white that you can add their hardener to. Bobcat made the ignorant decision to powdercoat their machines, (correct me Tazza) I think in about 1995 or so - which was THE dumbest thing any equipment mfg ever did because it peels off like plastic after it gets chipped and is IMPOSSIBLE to remove with a sandblaster. A single can of spray paint from Bobcat is a whopping $13 plus tax!!! So what i did several years ago was to save a sample of the Bobcat orange and made the gray, using a quart of white Walspar and added some black to match a Bobcat's radiator cover!! I put both color samples on a paint stir-stick and take it to wherever I want to make my colors for me! But, again, don't mess with mixing the white, because it's REALLY close to the "white" from Rustoleum, or Valspar. [/QUOTE]
