What is the Paint Code for my Tractor?
Submitted by Greg Hanna: Before I started on my Custom 10XL last winter, I tried to find the correct code for the red on my tractor. After talking to my paint guy, I decided that for the Red, Dupont 674A was as close to the original as possible. As for the white I went with Dupont 817A. These codes are for acrylic enamel (Centari) but can be mixed for base coat-clear coat as well (Chromabase). I remember when the tractor was new in 1968 and I feel the color scheme is perfect in my opinion. Nobody has questioned that the color is not correct. For someone who is working on a Custom with the red/white color scheme, I feel they will be VERY HAPPY with this info.Submitted by Jody Prather: I have a 1968 SS12 with the Teal & White color scheme. When I restored my tractor, I took a piece of it to my local automotive paint store and had them color analyze it. They had a machine they could use to tell exactly match the color. They then mixed some custom paint to match my colors accurately. Here
