On an Allis Chalmers 175 (year 1977)For the Cream wheel centers the codes I have found are a PPG 8638 and 23056 from Rod NH site.or possibly a Ditzler 921091, My paint supplier says he can find nothing using those numbers. I was looking for PPG Omni numbers (MTK) as I have used that paint in the past with good results (ford Tractor)
 
If you can't find the code, is there any place where the old paint is viable. If so you can sand it to clean it and clear coat it. The paint shop should be able to computer match the paint from the sample.
 

TJ, Stephen is referring to digital analysis. I have had it done. You have to take them a part that has a 6 inch square flat area. That could be difficult with a wheel.
 
(quoted from post at 05:12:39 06/12/20) The place I use has a gadget not much more than an inch in diameter they can put on a paint sample.


Stephen, that is good to know. Maybe my store has one of those now.
 
Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately I have already stripped the wheel centers. the only thing I have left is the front rims (with tires still on them) that I was planning to do at a later date. I will keep looking and if I find something I will post the results.
 
I looked at pictures of that tractor. Unless it has to be a factory match it wouldn't be difficult to mix that color. You could just take some white paint and add a very small amount of yellow oxide pigment to it. Just a couple drops per quart should do it.
 
Here is finished product..waiting on tire man. Forgot to get pictures after he left. Tractor is in Indiana.

Every time I paint a rim the tire guy gouges the paint all to heck mounting the tire. One place even put a UPC sticker on the fresh paint you would think they used epoxy for the adhesive on the sticker. Ended up having to sand the sticker off.
