    Posted: 05 Dec 2010 at 3:23pm
Hello , I am restoring a 1940 Model B and would like to know what color paint to use ? I have used Persian #1 on another tractor and it is a very light orange compared to the original darker orange. I have not received any help from dealers and the paint company web sites show nothing. Can anyone Help??????

I dont claim to be a painter...but-what primer are you using?  I believe it can be a difference between say: a red oxide primer and a gray primer.  Also, how many coats of 'color' did you put on?  that probably would be a bigger factor than the primer.

Persian Orange 1 is the right color. Who mixes it and what formula they use may change things but the PPG 60080 is kinda like the standard. Are you sure the "original " color is original?  PO 1 does seem to have a lot less red to it than PO2 or Corporate Orange.

Here is a color chart someone posted a while back. The 2 in the middle are probably closest to PO 1 as far as these particular paints go.
