Got a can of PO2 no problems, but am needing a half gallon or so of AC cream for a woodworking project. Anyone have a good number for it at a paint store? I don't even have a small sample I could take to have color matched and all the cream paint chips at the store look the same to me.

Why not give Merlin Boshart ( amac ) a try. He's in Kalona, IA I don't have a phone # for him, but you could just PM him. He makes EXCELLENT PO paint! He's been doing painting on Allis for over 20 years. He's on almost every day.
He' about 45 minutes from you.
I can do some looking for the numbers for you also.

Also, I can get the cream paint from Agco in a spray can or at least in a quart. Don't know a price though, but could check, if you want me to, Aaron? Rick

Might just find something cream and go stand in front of the paint chip section at Menards. Going on wood for some Christmas projects.

Rust-Oleum Almond is almost a dead ringer. I've used it for painting wheels. Looks and matches up very good. Would work very well for what you are doing and is easy to find.

Rust-oleum "ALMOND" is a perfect match.

I believe those are DuPont numbers Aaron. But for the cost involved and for what you are doing, I'd go with the Rust-Oleum Almond. It is a dead match!

I have used canvas white as well. It looks fairly close.

i used a IH white, which is a cream color, to paint some trim pieces on a wd45. how close or how far off is that from ac cream? if anyone knows. tractor supply has an AC orange, but not persian, and no AC cream. just curious how close the IH white is since everyone's chiming in on paint colors.
