Hey guys, does anybody know of a good acrylic paint that closely resembles the standard cat tractor yellow? I'm going to be painting the Meng d9r and want to add some cat yellow to it. Thanks.

Your best bet is to look at the RR colors. I would recommend TTX yellow as it is an extremely close match to Cat yellow. Two brands that come to mind are Pollyscale and Tru Color.

I can't remember since I am at work whether it is acrylic or not, but TSC (Tractor Supply Company), sells both old and new Caterpillar yellow in spray cans. Crap it is Enamel but here is the link anyway.
