- "Biscuit" Appliance Epoxy on the 'white" stuff.
- Satin Black

I do not know if it's the same formula as the 'rattle can' but FWIW I've been using this Rustoleum 7543402 to paint my 'fleet' of equipment, implements, and 'band-mark' my tools for years and it seems to hold-up very well and retain it's high gloss against gasoline, diesel, variety of lubricant and any other fluid spills it's encountered (even brake-fluid when wiped-up promptly)..... Question for anybody: Is Rustoleum sufficiently tough to resit damage from spilled diesel? What about resistance to diesel additives - Power Service etc - that I know will soften plastic over time. ?
Thanks! That's a very reasonable price, too.I do not know if it's the same formula as the 'rattle can' but FWIW I've been using this Rustoleum 7543402 to paint my 'fleet' of equipment, implements, and 'band-mark' my tools for years and it seems to hold-up very well and retain it's high gloss against gasoline, diesel, variety of lubricant and any other fluid spills it's encountered (even brake-fluid when wiped-up promptly).

Even better with Lowes' no-hassle 10% veteran's discount every day :thumbsup:Thanks! That's a very reasonable price, too.
Of course computer display colors can be misleading, but here you can see all the 'color chips' for the Rustoleum Farm & Implement colors side-by-side to maybe get some relative idea .... (the Troy Bilt looks noticeably darker than the others to me)Here's Tractor Supply's listing for Rust-oleum 'Specialty Farm & Implement'

... but the only reds listed are Ford and IH. It might be a good idea to use one of those for future maintainability. Anybody know if one of those is reasonably close to Yanmar's red?
