i matched the charcoal color pretty well.

I want to paint my buckets....rather than paint black i decided to match the bobcat charcoal myself. I bought a quart of the professional black and a pint of professional white (both gloss). mixed the two together, pretty damn good. so it's a 4:1 ratio. pretty cheap, and the rustoleum pro is good stuff. i'll post pictures when I get my snow bucket back from the welder this week.

Nice job, i'd be interested in seeing how they came out. I may start doing the same, making my own charcoal
Good work working out proportions to get the colour close.

it's almost black so a lot of people just paint it black but i have OCD and that just won't do haha. much cheaper than bobcat brand paint.

My local dealer has a quart of charcoal for around $25. I'm a tightwad but feel that $25 is reasonable. I'm OCD about the orange.
