Yet another Paint Match question

Wanting to stay away from the dreaded orange/red and tan/gray, I shopped around and found others for which I have not seen comment.

How does Massey Ferguson Gray compare to dark 9N, or to Light 8N gray? No particular brand question here...just how did the Massey Ferguson color compare to the Ford color in its day?

How does Massey Ferguson Red compare to dark N Red? Same question...how did the Massey Ferguson Red compair to Ford 8N Red in its day?

How about BPS Agri Systems Tractor & Implement Enamel 4431-13 Ford Gray? Any idea which Ford Gray it might be similar to?

How about the above BPS paint sold by Central Tractor/Farm & Family/Quality Stores? Mfg. by BPS Paint Co., Wheeling, IL, a division of The Valspar Corp.

How about the Quality Farm & Country Premium Oil Base/Rust Control Truck & Tractor Enamel?

The above mentioned paints are relatively inexpensive. Can be used with catalyst to increase hardness, and are recommended by the local NAPA paint expert in Staunton, VA when used over NAPA Synthetic Enamel 8098 quick-seal non-sanding primer (which is quite expensive).

I'm interested in your comments as to the colors and quality of any of these paints.

Thanks,

Paul

When I restored cars we once had a problem concerning this. Sample paint panels were made for the customer, he chose one, more of the selected factory-mixed color was ordered, and his car was painted. When the customer came to see the painted body he brought his sample. Unfortunately there was an almost imperceptible difference in color between the panel and the car. Due to the value of the car(a Rolls-Royce) Dupont did a laboratory analysis of the paint sample panel and the paint on the car. The bottom line was that both samples were within spec., and that it was not possible to manufacture paint to closed tolerances. From a practical standpoint this is a subject where there are no absolutes. So as Claus said, pick the one that “tickles your fancy” and use it...Al English
