Yanmar red paint code

familytrees1 · Jul 13, 2005

I have been buying my Yanmar parts from www.hoyetractor.com since I got my ym1900 about a month ago. They sell "Yanmar Red" paint and claim that it is the exact match to factory colors. You might check with them.

Thanks,
Jeff

When I painted my YM186D I had taken a part down to the local auto paint store and had it matched and it came out to be Pepsi Red! Came out really really close!

Yes, use Massey red, But go to your True Value Hardware and ask for floor and porch paint, get it mixed to massey red...This is polyurethine and has the UV protection that you need to keep it from fading in direct sun...If you email me I'll get you the formila so your local True Value man can help you...NO SHORT CUTS...my17rf@hotmail.com Abe...Good Day...

Sorry to revive this old thread but I was wondering, Whiskey how close was the MF red to the original Yanmar colour? I need to repaint some of my machine and wondered if this is a good answer to the problem.

I think MF red was just a little lighter than Yanmar red and Case IH was a little darker red. Back in the old days (before we had the color matched paints) we would paint tractors with a 50/50 mix of the two. It came out close enough that you would never know the difference.

Thanks Aaron, I think I might revert to the old ways, much as I'd love to buy the right paint from you guys I don't think the international shipping would be justified!

Appreciate you taking the time to post. Thanks again.

My Yanmar is a UTDA restore. With that said, the paint should be a match to the original Yanmar used. Recently, I had found that the Rustoleum Apple Red is a color match for the UTDA paint.

Now it is NOT the "Candy Apple Red", ONLY the Apple Red. I've found this at ACE Hardware and The Home Depot locally.

Walmart has a 6-pack too!
Apple Red, Rust-Oleum American Accents 2X Ultra Cover, Gloss Spray Paint, 6 Pack - Walmart.com

The M-F is a tad brighter. The NH red for round baler implements is very darn close. Ford red is just way to bright.
