Soon i will start building my next Caterpillar bulldozer, the D8K, and i'm still looking for the right paint for this. Seems there's a lot of uncertainty on this subject, finding so on other forums. I spoke a guy last Saturday saying he's the only one on the European continent having the right yellow-version as used by Caterpillar in the USA.......(??!). Be aware: we're talking about the right color for a dozer produced between the '60's and '70's.
There's enough yellow paint to find, even called "Caterpillar-yellow", but i insist getting me the right one! I even found a website on which you can convert RGB (for example) into RAL-numbers, but even a RAL-number which i found doesn't seem to fit properly.
This picture is from a forum in the States, showing different yellow-colors.
I'm looking for the one on the right, the deeper-yellow-one.

Hi all,
Soon i will start building my next Caterpillar bulldozer, the D8K, and i'm still looking for the right paint for this. Seems there's a lot of uncertainty on this subject, finding so on other forums. I spoke a guy last Saturday saying he's the only one on the European continent having the right yellow-version as used by Caterpillar in the USA.......(??!). Be aware: we're talking about the right color for a dozer produced between the '60's and '70's.

I'm looking for the one on the right, the deeper-yellow-one.
Anyone any ideas on this??
Many thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Jan
