I had my dash cover and part of my snowthrower with me. Used inside of dash cover (clean area) for sample. We tried out 3 other yellows by putting a dab on the panel. None of them matched even though one of the caps looked like a good match. After taking the sample the screen color looked nothing like the panel. I was told to ignore that. We mixed the color and applied it to the panel. Matches. Does it match the original GE color... Dont know, but it matches the inside cover of the dash panel on my E15. Would be great for a few other people to do the same and have parts from their machines matched at true value so we can compare the paint codes.....

If you are into digital photography, you know that the screen colors as seen in, for example, Photoshop (even when the screen is calibrated) don't match the camera colors, and don't match the printer either! So saying a color looks close to ET factory when seen on a computer screen is not saying much. It could be way off. David did the smart thing and looked at all those open cans! Of course, the question is does the formulated yellow make the factory fresh original yellow - as seen on a part, not as seen in a picture!

I should elaborate. When you get a custom color mixed, my local store puts it into the computer if you need more made at a later date. They asked for a color name. So i told them GE Yellow. So it will not show up nationally, only if you go to my local store. If you take the mix code as i listed earlier to any true value, they should be able to mix you up a quart. I did spend some time with them opening every can of yellow that they sell and none of them were close. There is no charge for the custom mix. CC: elec-trak cosmos phy tufts edu Jack
