I did a little needle scaling (pawned a lot of it off on a friend) and if I never have to touch that god awful contraption again I will be happy.

I needle scaled and DAed the frame of my entire Kenworth and Freightliner from front to back with the big donkey dick style. We now have a pistol with a handle style. Should be much easier.
I thought about a wire wheel just didn't think it would be worth the effort. Not sure it'd get in all the small areas with it. But I plan on having most of the accessories pulled off when I do it.
Tractor Supply does carry a
Cat yellow that is very close to pain from Caterpillar.
I'd never color match my motor. A Cummins is red or tan, a
Cat is yellow or white and a Detroit is green.
