Allis Chalmers color

here is codes that I think are close.

I am unable to read the numbers for the sample on the left. I would expect the MTK and the DCC to be quite close to each other (and they are) because they share the same 60080 formula number. Is the left one the DuPont YS074 (in Centari)? Thanks for doing the different sample sprayouts. It is the best way to compare shades of colors - right next to each other.

Unless you are searching outside the PPG brand or for a higher quality than OMNI, OMNI MAE 60080 is an excellent match to the MTK 60080. It is, after all, the same color number. It is an acrylic enamel that can be used as a non-iso paint. I think you are going to have some difficulty if you are looking for a high-end non-iso mix in any brand. PPG's Delstar (DAR) 60080 is a great AE, if you can find it in your area. It would be a prime consideration as it can be mixed non-iso. At least it used to years ago. I also thought that the Centari YS074 looked pretty close from one of your test sprayouts. That's a nice AE that is still mixable as a non-iso paint. Many would call me nuts to refer to Centari and Delstar as high-end since that would be considered an oxymoron nowadays. However, they are both excellent AEs IMO with the price to prove it. Anything of higher quality or performance is going to get you into the urethane area with isocyanates in just about everything. Unfortunately for me, Delstar is no longer marketed in my area. Centari may not be far behind. Neither can compete with the urethanes in performance or with the "economy" line AEs in cost.

Here is a Dupont Centrai number that is pretty close.

Earlier I went out and bought a bunch of Persian orange paint. Basicly PPG 60080 is the best match. Here is some that don't work.

There were two different persian oranges used by AC. The early version is a pumpkin shade of orange that was used to about 1959 or 1960. The later version has more red in it and was used afterwards. Here's a visual comparison of the two in PPG, as compared to an original belly mower belt guard for my '42B. The 60080 is the early one and the 60396 is the later one:
