Some time ago, I recall you said someone in the UK may be sending you a paint sample of the original TE 20 grey color.
I was just wondering if you ever received it.
No pressue here - I just am planning for a paint job when nice weather returns.
Thanks for any info.
Dennis

Richard and all.. If anyone is interested in an EXACT match to the later grey used on the '53 and '54, I would recommend th PPG brand, 32676. I recently bought a quart (about $30 acrylic enamel). I have an NOS grill and doglegs with factory paint that has been on a shelf for 50 years (that are for sale) and this PPG 32676 matches exactly the paint on these pieces... and that is side by side with the same lighting. It is also the same color as under the Tractor serial tag of my '54 TO-30... Now having said that, it still looks darker and "browner" than I remember my '52 TO-30 being. My wife says "it is my failing memory", and just to "paint it and get it done", but I am wanting that grayer/bluer color that I remember... so good luck with your project, but I seriously doubt that there is any one color that is going to satisfy everyone.... and I do believe there were differences over the years..

The PPG 32676 is the color that I came up with for the TO-20/30 on my two-year research of Ferguson paint colors. Glad we agree, Jim. Anyone wanting a different brand can normally have an automotive paint dealer cross-reference the PPG #. This color should be an excellent choice for a TE/TEA-20.

Jim when I found that article I liked it so much I printed off a copy. I just looked at it now and it is showing NAPA Gray 99L3740. I am glad you brought this to my attention. Well I don't know what paint to use when I get ready as Paul just stated it is not the correct color. Hopefully before I am ready for paint someone will come up with a good paint code. I will make a note of what you said and put that in with this article. Thank You

Paul, you don't have to appologize for being slow to answer, we all have some problems and we have to do what has to be done first. Our prayers are with you and yours that every thing works out fine. God Bless Richard

Richard, my apologies for not responding before this. We've had severe health issues in the family for about three months and I am behind the 8-ball much of the time.

Yes, I did get the can. However, the can had been drained and left different thicknesses in different spots making it difficult to know which spot was the accurate one. However, it appeared that the color was virtually identical to the TO-20/30 paint used in this country.

The NAPA 3740 was the color used on the early TO-35 and is slightly less blue and slightly lighter than that used on the TO-20/30. Many owners have painted their 20s or 30 that color (including me before I did some more research several years ago).

Dennis, yesterday I was playing around in the archives someplace and came across an article that David Lory and someone else put together. they state the best match for TE-20's/TO-20's/TO-30's paint is
NAPA Gray 99L3740. If you are like me you will check it out and also listen to what others say. Good luck

you might have heard wrong?? ... NAPA Gray 99L3740??

Stopped by NAPA yesterday.. gave them the part number.. they didn't have a clue what it was... finally talked to another store who was familiar with the paint numbers and he said the color number was 3740 and the paint grade (whatever that is) was 99 and the L belonged at the end... i.e 99-3740-L, so if you are actually looking you might want to keep that in mind. Incidently, this is not cheap paint (in the sense of $$$).. Pint $31.49 ; Quart $58.99.... Mix it while you wait... Maybe there is a lower grade.. don't know... didn't ask what type of paint either.. was shell shocked after hearing the price... . Jim in OH

Jim just returned from my NAPA store they said if I want it mixed give them at least a week as they would have to order in some of the mixing properties as they don't have it or at least not enough to make a gallon. I asked about price and he said $190.00 a gallon. 15 cans of shake & rattle will be a lot cheaper. LOL

Jim, regarding $$$ yes I had heard it was over $100.00 per gallon. Now if it would be possible to get the correct color it would probably be worth it. After reading Pauls post maybe we will have to order it from the UK. Does any one know if paint can be shipped by air? Thanks Richard
