Anyone know PPG Omni Code for Ford 850? I have used the PPG Omni Acrylic Enamel with an etch primer and then a primer sealer on my Ford 2N, with great results, Very durable and very forgiving for the novice. Just bought a Ford 850 and will be stripping and spray painting down to nuts and bolts restoration. Need the "correct" code for the ford gray and the ford red. Ford changed the red in 1958 (more orangy), but my tractor is a 1957 and is supposed to use the Vermillion red, but I don't have the codes. I hate having dealer try to match paint using a sample from somewhere on the existing tractor, as the existing tractor paint is faded, and even if I can find a virgin area, I don't really trust their testing machines, so if anyone has the codes for paint they used on the 800 series tractors, please let me know. Thanks to all of you, Larry.
 

I can't help you with the codes. I took a panel from each and cleaned it up good and took them and got them digitally analyzed. I used the underside of the battery holder and the center panel which were still original.
 
Thanks guys, the PPG codes list was really useful. It is also driving me completely KRAZY. The list confirms 2 of the codes I was able to get from the forum archives, but it also shows 4 additional color codes that seem to match my tractor year and make. So now I have 6 codes to bring into my NAPA dealer. For instance, for the 1957 Red, the Ford codes I now have to examine are, M2822-SE, 70075, and 3155. These are the "Vermillion Red" and not the Orangy red that ford introduced in 1958. You know what I am thinking. If I am going to do all that work for stripping, sandblasting disassembly, then wash, etch, seal, and paint, plus all the cost, at least I want to get the color correct!
Thanks again, the codes list is something I can bring into my PPG guy.

Larry, thanks for reminding me about all the different codes for Ford red and gray. I had forgotten why I went the digital match route, LOL.

I can't help you with PPG but last time I painted I used Nason 0769 Vermillion on my 960. I am happy with the contrast between it and the orange red on my 901. I am not sure if you are familiar but I use Nason because that is what the most helpful nearby jobber carries. It is acrylic enamel and their name for the line is "Fast Dry". I find that it is far better than alkyd enamel yet way cheaper than most popular automotive paint.

I spent a lot of time on this for my 641, not sure if the colours are the same or not for the 641 and 850. I did not want the orangey colour so used the vermillion. The original vermillion is not available as it had lead in the mix, I have an Omni code for a replacement that is almost a dead on match and I have the correct code for the grey. I‘ll need to walk over to my garage , so I will send them along later today. Omni 2.8 MTX

Here are the Omni paint codes, I would mix as per the manufacture's spec at 4.1.2. I found too much orange peel using 4.1.1.
