I am restoring a 1958 560 Gas.. I found paint at Tractor Supply Inc, that is International Harvester Red and IH Off White.. I was wonder what all you painting die hards think of this stuff? is it true to the Farmall specs or should I look for some other brand..

Also what is the color of the silver for the rims? Does any one have a recommendation?

I have had pretty good success with the paint from CaseIH. The tractors I have used it on are stored inside, so I may not be a good data point, but my 585 still has good color with no fading after about four years.

It seems to be the general opinion of TSC paint is not very good. It might match at first but fades quickly. The rims were originally galvanized but most people use aluminum paint on them nowadays.
Hope this helps

Frank,

IS the IH enamel at the local Case IH any better?

Sorry I can't comment on Case IH paint. My project is a little greener that that. Maybe someone else can comment on factory paint.
Good luck with your project.

I have been satisfied with the IH paint....I use it on implements and on lawn tractors.....On my restored non-working show tractors I use outomotive paint. I have only used acrilic enamel,have not painted one for a while,....I am getting ready to paint a FARMALL M not sure what I'll use,but I know how to paint acrilic enamel..... ..
