There were at least 3 shades of "Farmall red". I don't know which Van Sickle is a copy of. Considering only the letter and number series, the first was IH 50, used until about 1949, the second was 1102b used until the "late" 50's. don't know the exact year, the final and current is IH 2150. IH 50 and 2150 can still be mixed by the major companies. Far as I know 1102b is no longer mixed by anyone (if someone knows the Dupont or PPG number it crosses to, I would like to know). 2150 is considered to be the substitute for 1102b. The shade of your paint depends on who makes it, how accurate they are, and the particular batch of paint. I don't know that the company(ies) that make it for Case-IH are any more or less accurate than the others, as far as the correct shade. I have seen variations in batches of paint mixed by the same dealer, and have heard of variations in color of 2150 both in spray cans and in the gallon cans. Van Sickle is "tractor store paint", that means it doesn't cost much. and that you get what you pay for. In my mind the minimum quality paint that will produce acceptable results is labeled IH 2150, and is the paint manufactured for Case-IH, not some IH 2150 "equivalent" that the particular dealer might sell. For spray guns major brands such as PPG, Dupont, and Martin Senour, etc, are higher quality paint. Don't expect an absolutely correct color from any of them.
