Looking for yellow color code for the checkers version

Anybody? Some must have the paint code.

Pretty sure Bardahl used the same yellow all through the years. Roger Newton told me John Deere Yellow. Mike Cathey built a 68 checkerboard bardahl, he might know. Al Hobbs has that boat now.

larry you ever paint a smokin Joes boat? i will talk to you next week about that

 

[Duck899]

Thanx.will look into the jd yellow.

There are a multitude of greens and yellows over the years of john deere green and yellow. When I did my 1964 Bardahl, I went with 1964 John Deere green and yellow. The paint color available that year.

I wish I could remember. I believe it was a PPG chrome yellow. You can check it out on My Gallery. Tried to look at old photos, but due to different types of film the yellow varied widely from photo to photo. Brought it to the Unlimiteds Northwest banquet right after it was painted and Schumacher was the speaker. He thought the color was very close.

Sure was an awesome running boat but I didn't have the heart to see it get killed in a race.

whee, I was afraid to post about the jd colors here, know how that goes sometimes!!?!;-) , but those work and I have used them before, one jd green matches oberto boat colors also. and farmall/case tractor and Chrysler pr4 code for red. this is scarry!!

house of color neon yellow for joes boat and also h.o.c. for the purple.

 

[Mike Betke]

The 67 Barhdal paint code for yellow is Dupont Imron #54701. I believe that the 68 had the same yellow with the checkers painted over it. The yellow on these boats was a very pale yellow and it is hard to match sometimes.

I'm with larry.............We are also in need of that olive green color on the 67 Bardahl..............I believe Oliver Douglas had that boat with the proper color

 

[Mike Betke]

The Olive Green is Imron #5283.

These are the codes on the Newton paint plan.

Mike. The green imron number is not a good number.needs to be 5 numbers you posted 4.

 

[Dan Kramer]

re imron #5283 . that number could just be a mixing color . ran into that on a white, figured it out when I went to the imron store because they couldn't figure it out. the number was the white mixing with no other color in it .

Du pont (Axalta) says no good in their system .we use standox also a du pont product.

I was just reporting what was on the drawing. Here is the pic of the drawing. Dan may be right about it being a code for mixing with white. I built this boat 20 years ago and was able to get paint using these numbers back then.
