Farmall Paint Suggestions?

I am restoring a 1962 Farmall 504D, S/N 3712, S-X-Y. I am in the process of fixing all of the issues before painting. Right now I have the remote valves tore down and bead blasted. I am trying Special Purpose Krylon® Farm & Implement Paint, Am. Beauty/Int'l Harvester Red
1818. The finish looks good and has a deep red color. Is this close to the period correct color?

I plan to base coat all painted parts with Krylon® and follow with a clear coat (undecided, but open to suggestions). Would this choice paint + quality clear coat produce a fairly durable and fade resistant coating? I have not decided on the white and silver yet. I am thinking of Krylon® Rust Tough® Rust Preventative Enamel, Gloss White
RTA9200 and either Aluminum RTA9213 or Silver Metallic RTA9232. I Also I plan to something like POR-15 on any bare surfaces to neutralize any possible rust.

This is not a show tractor. But If I go through and repair worn parts and make this a tight machine I want it to look good. I may go to the occasional tractor show or local parade. It will see light-medium use such as box blade, 10' tandem pull disk, bush-hog, flail mower, round baler, square baler, possibly a future 3pt stump grinder, and general loader work (dirt and hay spear). It will be parked indoors most of the time.

Thanks for reading,
Charles

Here's a tiller I painted with the PPG 71310 paint code. Hal
PS: I plowed my garden on Tuesday and then tilled it.

There's a man & son in Ohio that painted those tractors. He is setup to power wash, sandblast and has a supplied air system when spraying that paint. Hal

According to the 1961 paint committee decision, the 504 was painted 201 harvester red and 901 harvester white.

I believe that the 404/504 is when IH changed to 2150 -- the 460/560 etc were painted with 201 which was changed to 2150 when the 404/504 came out.

The change to 2150 occurred on Oct 16, 1961.

I would recommend also asking this same question in the Paint and Bodywork forum, so you get a broad array of answers.

I would use PPG's 71310 Omni paint or its equivalvent and any of the major paint companies can cross-reference this number. There's a family in Ohio that paints a lot of tractors and they use Martin Senours Crossfire paint. Here's several of the tractors they painted. Hal
