Can someone please tell me the correct paint codes for a 2255? I am looking to paint it this weekend and am having trouble. I went to the local auto parts store and am having no luck.

Thank you!

PPG has mix for Meadow Green and Clover White, which I think are pretty accurate.

I didn't think that the colors were the same on the Super 99 and the 2255??

I've painted three tractors in the last year and before I started I searched for answers like you are because I wanted them to be historically correct. There's been much debate over colors but from other's research (Mr. Dumont) and findings from original painted Oliver's I've owned I agree that from model year 1952 through the end of Oliver they were the same color. Except for a brief period in 1959 with the short lived model 880 mist green experiment. Remember suppliers and quality of paint changed through the years so all tints might not be exactly the same even though they were intended to be. With the quality of todays paint along with hardeners and/or clearcoat they can look better and last longer than the original factory job years ago.

I felt that way about Agco clover white also. Last can I bought though seemed to be about right shade to me. Here is a picture of it (I hope).
