Indeed sharp looking setup but the color.:confused2:

I wonder if the black paint is cheaper?
The "yellow" stuff sure does fetch a premium:laughing:

I am surprised that management even allowed it as I am sure that they knew people would be asking to get one that color or is this something new they are testing to see if there is enough interest?

Did you ever try to keep a black car/truck clean? Imagine that one...it would look like crap in about an hour of use.

Aren't these things suppose to be "bad luck". I plan on painting my yellow JCB "army green" this summer, I like that Cat color, its different.:thumbsup:

It would have made a good match to the old Paystar.

Just picked up an attachment from a guy that had a black Cat CTL. Turns out if you custom order, you can also custom order the paint.

I was just looking at a brochure for the compact wheel loaders and I was surprised to see in the options it had custom paint listed.

I worked for a company that made heavy equipment and we had customers who always got certain colors. Different shades of yellow or red and blue being the ones I remember this minute. Two reasons I knew and maybe more, one it was their color and all equipment was that color. The second will tie to the first, if it was stolen was much easier to track. kt
