Actually the correct red is 1102B, which I don't think anyone can mix -- I didn't realize that this code appeared as early as 1949. 2150 was brought out to imitate the original IH 50, and is, as you say, recommended for all early colors. I have used this on two tractors, mixed as PPG 71310 acrylic urethane, this particular version has a definite orange tint to it particularly on the cast -- whether or not that's PPG's fault, my local supplier mixing it wrong, or bad eyesight, I don't know, but it sure looks too orange to me. I did have a small amount of acrylic enamel mixed for some of the small parts, that I used without hardener, it is darker. I am going to start with IH 50 next time, and compare the colors. The spray can 2150 looks ok, I have not used the spray gun 2150, prefering to have a higher quality paint mixed (if it ever comes out the right color. I'm still a little confused on the rim color. My Case-IH dealer did say that the silver-argent paint he had was for the newer Case-IH tractors. The new tractors on hs lot and the lid on the can he showed me were definitely gray, not silver. My best guess of the rim paint I had mixed by PPG is still a little too gray -- wish someone had a PPG code for what IH used from about 1954-55 after they stopped having them galvanized. But, Guy Fay says IH didn't specify the color, just some "silver" color with the proper rust prevention. Thank's for the link, I have it bookmarked.
