So.. I had started touching up a few spots in the paint on the deck and frame with the dealer paint and it was really thin, didn't like using it at all. I had read that people claim that the tractor store brand "cat yellow" is a real close match, so i bought that and started applying it, much better & thicker consistency.
However, once it dried, it wasn't really close enough to match. The next logical step of course was to remove pieces and repaint it all! So, that's what i did. I also painted the flex forks, which were black, because i thought it looked better in yellow.
I still need to do the ROPS, and the engine cover (it's resin, so i want to wait until it's warmer).
But she turned out pretty good, and I'm a fan if Caterpillar yellow anyhow!

TSO,
WOW, I agree with Carl_NH....fantastic paint job(looks like a brand new mower)!!!!! My Gravely had a "scratch" on the rear engine cover/bumper at delivery(from the dealer unloading it when he got it in) and he "gave me" a can of Gravely Red touch-up paint. I haven't tried it yet, but will next weekend before I start mowing this season since the scratch is down to bare metal and I don't want it to begin to rust(I only put 5.5 hours on it last fall after buying it). I hope it's "decent" paint and matches good(don't know who "makes" the touch-up paint, but it's got Gravely on the label). It's only about a 1.5 inch long/eighth inch wide scratch, so I doubt I'll want to repaint as much as you did:0)
