Hey a’ll!!
So I’m trying to find out what colors the 400 series are factory with…
Are the garden tractors the same as the other tractors?

Here’s the one I just got ( I actually got 3).  I’m thinking about redoing it so I don’t have to look at the rust but I want it original colors if possible.

Nice find Gavin! That should be an easy resto. Nice sheet metal. Looks basically just surface rust. Should be able to take that hood down to bare metal, prep it prime it and paint it. If all three are like that one, you did real good! Steve@B&B

So to me it almost looks like the cream paint used on the D series tractors…
Rust oleum has an almond white which to me looks like a very close mach to cream.

I tried the Rustoleum cream on some wheel weights and it is a more yellowish/orange than the cream that AC used. Good luck!
