A NAPA store can either mix or get the red and yellow colors your #s are red 99-L3752 and yellow is 99-L3753. These can also be mixed as what napa calls vectron is is only $40 some $ a gallon and is similiar to your old straight enamels. If you have trouble getting it let me know and I'll tell you how to do it. Gary

The red is Dupont B8590 Carrera Red (a Chrylser/Mitsubishi number)

The yellow is Dupont 54701

A friend of mine has been arguing with me that the lettering is not the yellow, that it is a cream color. is this correct or is the yellow correct? thanks

The 70s on both of my 70s are yellow. I scraped
off someone elses white paint to original paint
on my 38 and it is definately yellow the other
70 year unknown is faded but is also yellow.

Nateman,

Yellow for grills on 60s and 70s Dupont Dulux 029.
Your local NAPA store should be able to cross to a
Martin Senour # and mix it for you.

PEOPLE,

GET OVER IT...THERE AIN'T NO MORE DULUX PAINT. DULUX IS A SYNTHETIC ENAMEL AND THE WONDERFUL, ALL KNOWING, OUR-BEST-INTEREST-AT-HEART, EPA MADE SURE THAT FORMULA OF PAINT WILL NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY AGAIN.

I understand it is easier to remember 3 digits than 4 or 5 but it won't do any good, as the number mean nothing. And before you say "they can cross-reference it", they can't it comes up as a totally different shade of red/yellow/green ect....

I should know..I am there, doing that, and got the headaches, paint chips, reference manuals and paint samples by the can to prove it.

I,m sorry I mentioned Dulux. It has been (several)
years since I bought the yellow for my tractors. I
bought 1 qt. several years ago and it goes a long
way for painting #'s and grills. Thanks for the new numbers. Is there any way to determine an Oliver 70's year except by tractor serial # my
engine serial is 72727, What are the #'s on some
of your 70 engine.

Sounds like you got an early one.
Mine is a 44 and the serial number starts with either 240 or 238 with 3 more digits following.

One quick way to get at least a starting point for year is to look for the loaction of the throttle and choke cable. 44 and earlier was on top of the tool box between the driver feet. 45 and later the throttle was on the steering column.

i work at oreilly auto parts, an our paint shop would be able to mix the dulux 029, but one color is factory back oder they say. is this how theyre slowly doing away with dulux? and yes we do sell quite a bit of tha dang imrom. i agree, this is crazy.

Right on all counts, Jerry! Dulux is long gone, Centari is the next choice, but the cross references are a nightmare. Makes a lot of sense, huh? Imron causes birth defects, so they ditch Dulux and keep Imron!!! My $.02, Karl

Karl,
I had to laugh out loud about birth defects. At 50 yo I am well beyond "child bearing" age so I guess Imron won't bother me too much! *LOL*

btw..I kinda like Imron. It sprays easy enough and will color sand and buff pretty good.

I am currently painting my 88 with Nason urethane. Nason used to be a competitor to Dupont but Dupont bought them out and changed a few formulas to include Dupont mixing colors and in doing so produced a very good, inexpensive (considering) alternative to the Dupont basecoat/clearcoat system. It has a high solids content and covers very well with 2 coats. I don't like the urethane primer as well as the URO primer but I like the price a lot better. about $100 a gallon less than URO.

Nateman,

Yes that is one way they are doing it. Considering the cost of and the durability of Centari, it makes no sense to even consider Dulux. I have an idea that even Centari MAY be on the way out as I have noticed a lot of paint codes will not cross over to Centari and the cost seems to be rising rather quickly for no apparant reason.

What we are supposed to do is buy, install, maintain and have inspected, a UL list paint booth with after burners, pre and post filtering systems, fresh air pressurized paint suits, ect, ect, ect.

Nateman, I promise those numbers I gave you are as close as you are going to get. I have spent several dollars and hours searching for the correct shades of green, red and yellow. Trust me, I had the local Dupont dealer call and get the updated tractor and equipement paint codes and they are very complete. Shoot, they even show the numbers for Marhyde, Sherman Williams and others just to make sure you have all the options availible.

yes, the #'s you gave me are correct. the man that kept telling me otherwise came into oreilly's today and told me he was wrong, and you were right. thanks for all the help everyone.
