    I have seen a big contractor paint all of their equipments roof white. Then on top paint a big equipment number so it could easily be seen from the helicopter. From ground level it doesn't stand out. Maybe paint the wheels?

    White will not get hot in the sun.I have always been told you can order cat equipment in white.There is a farmer in Eastern Washington that has all white equipment,knd of cool.

    You can order it in any color. You just have to pay extra. The state gets it in a safety yellow color and the airport got a wheel loader in very bright yellow.

    Your just a couple weeks late asking for a pick of equipment painted red. There was a contractor working on my way to work that had all his equipment painted red with all the decals. Looked very sharp and was very well done. Have seen it done where it looks like crap. Cheers Tom

    you'll find black shows dirt the worst and will probably have overheating problems on a hot day

    I would be a little afraid of black not looking good and being hot. If i were going to paint my equipment one color and not go original, it would be the arkansas and kansas highway dept orange all there equipment is very good looking for a diffrent look.
