The spatter and grime is mostly a grout that dries a very light gray color. So trying to choose a lighter color to minimize the contrast.

It is a self propelled grout mixer similar to the Ditch Witch R300 with a 1CM mixer attachment. I have some significant improvements over their product but they both do the same thing and look a bit similar. Our attach method between the grout mixing tub attachment and the rest of the machine is almost identical to DW to allow interchangeability between brands. Similar to a universal skid steer attachment. This is a high demand machine for the micro trenching world. I am at the point where I have to choose a color for the machine. I will avoid Ditch Witch colors. The John Deere trademark decision says I could paint it green but not the same green with yellow of JD equipment. I hate to paint it the generic cat/JD/vermeer type of yellow that everyone else seems to use. It is not agricultural so probably not JD green. Not sure if Ford blue communicates solid USA made good stuff. Thinking Kubota orange, but does that communicate inferior Kubota? Years ago Kubota was truly inferior but now-a days they make good stuff. It will soon get lots of grout spatter on the outside. Almost impossible to keep these things spotless. So darker colors will emphasize the mess. Could paint it concrete gray to minimize that but that does not excite me at all. What color makes you think “solid, American Made, durable, good value”?
