Hustler yellow paint

[mooch91]

All,

I have searched, and there are a number of options for matching paint for Hustler mowers, including John Deere Industrial Yellow.

Problem is I can't seem to find something locally available and I'd rather not spend $20+ (with shipping) for a can of spray paint.

Anyone have any readily available, local sources for matching paint for our Hustler mowers?

I know it's a little petty to be concerned about the finish of a lawnmower, but I have to say, I'm a little disappointed at the powder coat flaking off my 2-year-old Fastrak. I know I hit a few spots on the left side, but it appears as if a few sheets of paint were peeling off from areas that have never contacted anything when I pulled it out of the shed last week. See the picture by the anti-scalp wheel, for example. I never wash the mower, only blow off the grass and dust with the leaf blower following each use.

Thanks!

Get the biggest piece of flacking powder coat off the mower and take it to an auto parts store and have them mix you a pint or whatever they can. Some have the spray can you can build for your self. That may or may not be cheaper than $20. EPA has their hands all over paint these days and it cost a fortune now.

I've found that the Caterpillar yellow in a handy spray can is pretty darn close. I don't notice any difference at all with a little dust on top.

Not a great match, but Krylon Farm and Equipment "New Equipment Yellow" did OK.

Looks pretty good to me! I don't know why it happens, but I've had problems with powder-coat on various pieces of equipment flaking like that.

Mine has peeled in a few places too. As part of the spring clean up fix up get ready I want to do some touch up too.
Thank you for the leads.

It's OK. It's a lot more tan looking, the Hustler paint has more orange in it.

Although this is not metal paint, it will serve to make a good match for you. I would prefer removing a piece of the machine and have it color matched with enamel metal paint. You'll have to really clean the rust from the metal, use a couple of good coats of primer and I would go with a light color primer. Then you can use the item show in the comments above or use a decent spray gun and you'll have a nice piece of equipment all over again.


Good luck,

Max

NAPA will mach any color you want and put it into a spray can for you. The match you have now doesn't look bad. :thumbsup:
