What are the paint colors for an 8N, and where are they available?

Thanks,

Andy

You can get pretty fancy with these colors and end up tearing you hair out. Your New Holland dealer will have their MIJ957SE5DS paint in spray and gallons, TISCO has their TP-MIJ957SE4LF-SP medium grey in spray as well. Unfortunately, this grey does not match the grey on my N at all. I ended up using Rustoleum light machine gray #7581 with good results. For the red, there are many choices; my pick in a spray can is Plastikote engine enamel Ford Red No.206. HTH wc

For the gray, PPG Delstar DAR 31657. This is listed in the old Ditzler books as Ford tractor gray. It's very close to the original, maybe a touch dark. Add a few drops of white to the mix to lighten it ever so slightly and you've got it.
The red..... ..... everybody's Ford tractor red is different. Even the Ford red they sell at the Ford dealer is too orange. I've matched several good samples of the original 8N "blood red" from inside the air cleaner, behind the running board brackets, etc. I tried to match it up with a ready made formula so as to have a uniform color that I could buy off the shelf rather than custom mix each time I needed some. What I finally came up with, that is a very good match with the original paint, is DuPont Centari C8508 (single stage). It is a General Motors red from the mid 80's.

I value his opinions.

It's my opinion, based on my research, that these 2 colors are very close to the original Ford 8N colors. Other opinions may vary :)
