I've never seen a specific code for the "B" series British built IH tractors though I have seen posted that some believe they used a darker red than the US built models. During 1958 -1961 when the B275 was being imported to the US IH was using paint code 201 for which there is no cross reference. In 1961 they switched to IH code 2150 which crosses to PPG code 71310 or Martin-Senour 4115. Some prefer the MS 4115 as it seems to be a deeper darker red than the PPG 71310.

On the B275 pretty much everything was red except the the rear rims which were galvanized. I like the look of the off white rims so thats how I painted mine years ago. I painted mine 12 years ago before I had a compressor & spray gun with spray cans of rustoleum IH International red. It faded pretty quick so I wouldn't reccomend it. I think you can order the decals from a sparex dealer. I may repaint mine in the future. I f I do I'm going to use the MS 4115.

All my B-275s still have original paint and lettering, and look pretty much the same as in the IH sales brochure.
