again

We just got a '46 2N from my father in-law and will be fixing it up. Love his tractor!!

Question on color. I searched the forum and found the original color is gray. Or as some said GRAY and GRAY only:) But, I sanded through all the colors on this tractor and the only gray I found is the top coat. From top to bottom: Hood fenders - light gray, light blue, darker blue, then cream white. The center section/motor red, light blue then a dark (new Ford) blue. So, if I go by the first colors put on this tractor it would have the fenders/hood a cream white with the motor unit a Ford blue. Like I say, the only gray found is the top color on the hood/fenders and it is a paint brush job. I will do some more looking. Ideas????

My wife really is attached to this tractor, so my Datsun Roadster and 64 Chevy truck projects are on hold until the 2N is pretty again. It promises to be a fun project and looking forward to it!!

Thinking a Ford blue motor unit and a real light gray hood/fenders. That way I have gray (I know, too light) and be disticive from the 8N.

Make sure you paint it whatever color you like-it's yours.

The 8N's had the lighter cream grey, and vermillion red bodies ( close match ).

TSC stores, and don @ just 8n's carry this paint, as do many venders. Probably ford/new holland even has it.. for an arm and a leg.
