For some of you fellers who are trying to match the paint on your tractoror/car/truck, here's a tip! Some of the better auto paint stores have a computerized paint matching system that is really good. You have to have a part that you can remove, clean it good with rubbing compound, and take it to the place. The place i go to has a machine that "reads" the color onto a floppy disc. Then it is put into their computerized paint mixer, which then makes up the color that you want! I've had the machine match a color that i made up, to paint the bottom of my van, and which had been on the van for 3-4 years.--Matched perfectly! You can also take the whole vehicle, but have a really clean spot about 1 ft. by 2ft. RJ

Our paint store has the same thing. We've used it a few times - works great! They only need a one inch square spot. The first time I wanted to match some paint for a Sheppard Diesel and they used the old paint can lid. Another time I used some 30 year old leftover paint and painted a small piece of tin for a Minneapolis. Perfect match! Sure beats trying to mix it yourself!
