I know there are different brands and types of paint, can anyone provide me with the paint codes (RED) + (WHITE) for this tractor.

Thanks In Advance!

Red is IH 2150/PPG 71310/DuPont 96766, far as I know the white is IH 901/PPG 8665.

CNKS: Which brand of paint would you recommend and what paint has the deepest red or without the orange tint. I was hoping to use the paint that would give the best shine ansd durablity.

All I have used is PPG Omni 71310. The equivalent is DuPont 96766. 71310 has a definite orange tint to my eyes. Looks better in the sun. Some say that if you leave it in the sun for several days (weeks?), the orange will disappear, I have not tried that and really don't believe it. I do not know if 96766 is redder or not. You can have the toners changed in either until you get the color you like. It will probably take at least a 20% switch in the orange and red toners, I have done 10% without much effect. Might cost you three pints of paint or so. Exchange the orange toner for the red one. The amounts of the toners are listed on the back of the paint can label, your dealer can also print them out beforehand. Try a little of the original 71310 first, as some say there is no noticable orange in it. No proof, but I believe the problem is that the formulations have changed, and due to enviornmental regulations the original 2150 does not exist anymore. You might try DuPont or NAPA's (Martin Senour) version on a small piece, and see what you think.
