Re: RC4WD 4200XL Paint Color
Thanks! I'll check into that. Also, are your CAT decals regular decals or vinyl? Local sign shop do those or other source?

RC4WD 4200XL Paint Color
Has anyone found a matching paint for the standard "orange" color for this machine? Want to do some touch up.
Thought I'd ask before going to a paint shop for help.
Thanks!

Re: Skeeters contracting services
