I have a customer that is doing a knockout restoration on a 8N and we are looking for the correct color codes for the hood and fenders.
Thanx,

There are several views on what is the "right" paint for an 8N. I specified Ford gray as provided by New Holland (39-64 gray) and N-Compete red for my Jubilee. I know that the Gray provided by New Holland today is slightly lighter in color than was used on 8Ns and Jubilees, but it very close to the old under-hood samples I have from several old Fords that were never repainted. The NH-Ford red they now sell is too bright and orangish to be correct, but some very good restorers are using it anyway because it matches up with their later red and gray Fords, and they want them all alike. What you DO NOT want on an 8N is the very dark bluish grey as was on the 9Ns and 2Ns and the very whitish grey that was often used by dealers to repaint old Fords in the early 90s. Remember, too, it is your tractor and you are welcome to paint it any color you like. Good luck. Mike-
