COLOR CODE85507 - New YellowNew-Holland Touch-Up Paint

The Look

If you have spent any time around hay equipment between 1970 and 2005, you know this shade by heart. It is the signature look for your balers, rakes, and mower-conditioners. This is a hardworking, high-visibility yellow that was designed to be spotted across a hundred-acre field. It defined a generation of New Holland machinery and provides that classic, industrial brightness that makes an old piece of equipment look like it just rolled out of the showroom.

Technical Details

This is a strictly solid finish. You will not find any metallic flakes or pearl effects here, which is a blessing because it makes your repair work much easier to blend. However, yellow is a naturally transparent pigment. It does not hide dark spots or rust very well. If you apply this directly over a dark primer or a patch of bare metal, the final result might look slightly green or muddy. To get the color right, make sure your surface is a uniform light gray or white before you start.

Best Practices

Before you apply New-Holland New Yellow (ensure you have code 85507), you need to shake the container for at least sixty seconds to properly distribute the heavy yellow pigments. You can usually find your specific identification plate near the hitch or on the main frame of your implement. To ensure the best match, always test the color on the included card before touching your equipment. When you are ready, keep the container moving in steady passes to build the color in light layers. This prevents the paint from sagging and ensures the solid yellow builds up enough depth to hide what is underneath. Give each layer enough drying time so the surface is no longer tacky before adding the next one. If you are working in your garage, keep the air still to avoid catching dust in that bright, wet finish.
