Re: (ET) Elec-Trak yellow

[john j casey <jjcrmc verizon net>]

Way, way back in the day I bought paint from Bill and (because I’m a 
fusspot), kept a paint stick of color in the car hoping to find a match. 
Found it, I think.
A new Rustoleum enamel is 298537 Gloss Tuscan Sun.  I agree there’s some 
fading with the oem and even with that you can see a ‘mustard’ tone in oem 
that no paint I’ve seen
can duplicate…till now.  Rustoleum spray nozzles are greatly improved and 
spray at any angle letting me do a streak-free job on the mower.

Good luck, Jack
