Thanks to all who replied.
A couple listers said that they used Rust-Oleum #7449 Old Caterpillar
Yellow, and that it looked great. One said he used a "heavy equipment
yellow".
After I posted to the list, I called back my Plasti-Kote dealer and he
said he had found two Caterpillar Yellow colours in the computer:
Caterpillar and New Caterpillar.
So off I went to the store, and when I got there, I found:
Tractor & Accessories Paint:
Old Cat Yellow #1356
New Cat Yellow #1355
I opted for the Old Caterpillar Yellow #1356, as the other was very
brown in colour, and the Old Cat Yellow seemed to be the "medium yellow"
the Concours Guidelines talked about.
Thanks and hope this helps.
