Correct paint colors for a CA

beesbo · Jul 12, 2022

Where can I find the correct paint colors for my 1952 CA?
I see a lot of pictures with different schemes. I believe the front wheels are the Persian Orange like most of the rest of the tractor. I don't have the power adjust rear wheels. Looks like the rear rims should be some sort of grey or silver? But the insides are orange?
I see lots of folks paint their starters and generators black. Mine are both orange. What is the correct color? Is there a written spec somewhere with the correct color scheme?

Everything but the rear spin out rims was Persian Orange #1. Rear rims were originally galvanized.

If you are wanting the correct orange color, don't just take someone's advice without a little research. Persian Orange #1 was used from 1934 to 1960. Persian Orange #2 was used from 1960 until 1977. There is a huge difference between the two orange colors !!!!!

Thanks, Persian Orange #1 it will be.

Here's a visual of the two persian oranges from PPG. The 60080 is the #1, so called.
