Who sells the dark yellow metal paint used on Cats and other digging
equipment? (My trailer is the same color and needs a few touch-up
after welding on brackets.)


'Chromium Yellow', aka 'school bus yellow' will be pretty close. IIRC, there
were some vague anti-rust properties to the paint, one of the reasons Cat
and the bus operators picked it. Brand awareness in the market, and
standardization to promote traffic safety, were happy side effects.

Using the same color has bad side effects too. A kid in my
neighborhood got on what he thought was a school bus, but it turned
out to be front loader and now he has been front loaded.
