"The actual paint brand and code that we used to refurbish shock tubes is Ellis Paint Company's yellow #217. However, I could not locate any

Better chance of acquiring Krylon's #1816 John Deere Yellow. Second choices are Krylon yellows #1806 or #5818.

"Just received news from Ellis Paint Company. They will sell Yellow #217 in spray cans, for $6.50 each. They did ask that I purchase two cans, which I agreed to do. Anyone else interested can contact Ellis Paint Company at the following number:
