: What color is ski-doo yellow
FormulaIII_dude 08-21-2002, 12:03 AM So far the closest thing I have found is Safety Yellow but it is WAY to bright and all the other yellows look like Crap. I want to paint a few items because Ski-Doo doesent make cool looking parts for the 96 F-III
Rev it 800X 08-21-2002, 12:12 AM Check an autoparts store that sells paint to body shops. Being Ski Doo slightly changes the color they can match yours and package it into a spray can for your use. Its costs a bit more but it will be right,
revrnd 08-21-2002, 12:17 AM I'll check the service manuals up north on the weekend. I think there is some paint code info in them.
The yellow changed back in the late 90s. which year of MXZ had the black/red checker graphics? Was it '97? I rode a week with a guy who had a 583 that the yellow was different than mine ('98)
idooski 08-21-2002, 02:16 PM Yup.. They changed from 97 to 98. I had both MXZ's at the same time. The 97 was definitely a different color than the 98.
green 08-21-2002, 02:24 PM I've got the paint code for the 1997 MXZ at home, I'll post it tonight. I believe the name of the colour is sunflower yellow.
performancex 08-21-2002, 02:39 PM I think the yellow on the Ford Ranger Splash is pretty close.
maluchm 08-21-2002, 02:56 PM Somewhere between OSHA Safety yellow and John Deere yellow.
Rottie 08-21-2002, 04:31 PM Yellow tremclad rust paint is #### near an exact match for my 98 mxz..i bought some after a paint shop charged me $20 for making up an aerosol can to match..steve
folgers 08-21-2002, 06:21 PM john deer is not even close *bring a sample to a GOOD body shop. just had some powder coating done its real close.
DooinVT 08-21-2002, 07:10 PM I once mixed "sunburst yellow" with "schoolbus yellow" and it matched my hood on my 2000 mxz..........just lucky I guess!
Mikadoo 08-21-2002, 08:28 PM You wont find pre-mixed paint in any store. Why they dont offer a spray can at the dealer we will never know. Pull a wheel off and have it computer matched then buy the spray kits from an automotive paint store.
Sled Dogg 08-21-2002, 09:09 PM Doesn't Doo make a can of paint? I can't believe that they don't.

ARCTICZRT600 08-21-2002, 09:51 PM They probably do make it in a can but if it's anything like AC who want's almost $20 for a can, it's cheaper to make some up.
paul yarek 08-22-2002, 12:24 AM the doo paint is made right here in brantford and my buddy is the shipper/reciever. he says their biggest customer is bombardier.
jeepster 08-22-2002, 01:10 AM just ask your dealer to call bombardier for a can. I work at a dealership and I ordered a spray can for my 1995 formula stx cost me about 7$ (about 10$ for clients) Hey formula 111 dude, what year is your sled. For my sled 1995, they only had a couple of can's left until they ran out of my paint, and after that, the paint would be no longer available so make your move fast.
FormulaIII_dude 08-22-2002, 03:56 AM On my 96 there was'nt any yellow to begin with so I plan to use the later color because it is brighter. I really dont understand, I can go to a shop where they sell PPG or DuPont paint and give them a paint chip and they will give me Ski-doo yellow in a spray can!!?? Man, I am 16 and still am amazed at the technoligy these days.
folgers 08-22-2002, 10:32 AM im told that they keep that under the 007 file!!!!!!!!!!!!!
