Really doubt if it is PO1... Most oranges are NOT.... Very common to say ALLIS = Corporate Orange........ but possibly PO2. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

| I went thru that also. I am looking for my notes but recall there was no P.O.#1 from Rustoleum. They had two orange versions. One I considered Corp Orange and the other matched nothing. I had talked to them and they did tell me what pigment to add to attempt a P.O.#1...I just went back to using Krylon which I think will be as close as one can get with an off the shelf product. I did have a Rustoleum quart from the 60's that we used at that time that was as good as it got....I will check further for my notes and put it with my computer notes so I know what it is aslo....Dale |

Plastikote #200 Chevy Orange is pretty darn close to Dupont Nason PO1 which I use on my Tractors. The Dupont is pretty durable, and the #200 Plastikote is darn near a direct hit for the touchup! These paints have a little more depth and gloss than the original PO1. Steve@B&B ------------- 39'RC, 43'WC, 48'B, 49'G, 50'WF, 65 Big 10, 67'B-110, 75'716H, 2-620's, & a Motorhead wife |

Still have a number of Huskvarna (s) orange spray cans from a couple of years ago. Tried it on some D-Series parts of tractors still in use, seems to fade in nicely for matching existing (original) PO2 and seems to be a workable match as it fades into something between PO1 and PO2. Will post the brand of those spray cans when I get out to the shop.

| Rustoleum A-C orange is corporate orange. I’m sure there’s a little color variations to the production lots, but definitely corporate orange. They have other shades closer to the Persians. I’m not a huge fan of their paint, but it’s ok in some applications. |

I got a couple of rattle cans of that stuff on the shelf. It seems to almost be a dead ringer for what is spose to be PO 2 on my restored D 15. Good enough for spotting places like draw bar scuffs,linkages and stuff like that.

As luck would have it, I find myself in the position of wanting to clean up and paint some rusty, dirty, greasy old parts for the D15.......did an internet and lo and behold, it pointed me here. So it looks like I will be searching some local auto parts stores for the Plasticote #200 chevy orange paint.........what I am wondering is if anyone uses a primer too? If so, which one? BTW, my plan for cleanup is to.... a. hit em with a powerwasher to bust all the heavy crud off.... b. hit what is left with a wire brush to get the light crud and rust off.... c. soak oily stuff in bucket with purple power engine degreaser.... d. soak what is left of rusty stuff in evaporust to get it back to bare metal..... then prime and paint. BTW, while most of these parts probably left West Allis looking orange, that was a long time ago. Not much hint of orange on them these days. Or should I be doing something else..........???

I bought a D12 from an ex Allis Chalmers employee who reportedly painted it PO#2 instead of PO#1 like it was supposed to be. He did this because he had the PO #2 paint. Anyway, I used the rattle can Rustoleum from Home Depot to paint the PTO pulley and it is difficult if not impossible to see the difference. I ordered rattle can PO#1 for my B that I am restoring.

Hmmmm.........I've been told the paint color a D15 left West Allis wearing was PO 2. Is there a general consensus as to which is the correct color? BTW, I have the color chips for Van Sickle rattle can enamel paints from Orschlens and it includes 3 different AC orange paints (PO 1, PO 2 and Corporate Orange), plus one for Kubota, which is in the same ballpark. |

Does it resemble this? This was on OK Tractor website and was made by Cross Manufacturing in MO. It is one I'm looking at. Seems to me it should have the same functional use as a factory 3 point.....but is stronger.  |

For a primer, I use Plastikotes sandable Enamel primer. Nothin' trick. Covers great, lays down nice and you can sand it if you dust enough coats on it. The Chebby Orange sticks right to it and stays quite durable. If you want to get real fancy, they make a clear that you can lay over the 200 Orange. Gives it some depth. Its whatever you want to do..

I have almost NO experience painting farm equipment, but a small amount painting other stuff. Perhaps someone with more experience than me can address this better, but it seems to me what gets lost in the shuffle with all this talk of paints is the paint chemistry. The Van Sickle paints are alkyd (oil based) enamels. Most of the other rattle cans are water based acrylics......and some being mentioned I think are water based urethane or polyurethane auto paints.....and use epoxy primers and such. Not all of these are compatible with each other......leading to blistering, peeling, etc. The main reason I've shied away from painting is the level of prep work required for a good job, PLUS when I've attempted to dig into what is compatible with what, directions usually default to "follow manufacturers recommendations". That is when I hit a brick wall. I find these to be impossible to follow or understand.

I painted some saddletank brackets the other day with Rustoleum Implement paint, and they really turned out nice...even though they were green! They were sand blasted down to bare metal, and then primed with the Rustoleum primer. I also put a little hardener in the paint before spraying them, and they've got a nice gloss to them. We got a WC resto project going on, and I've got my own sprayer, so I'd like to use their paint on it, but don't know what numbers to mix to get PO1 shade of paint. Anybody know what the formula is for PO1 Rustoleum Implement Enamel? You can get this paint mixed at Menards for $26.97/gal...and it's 11% off this week! IMO it's good paint with a price that's hard to beat. Anybody have better paint suggestions?

I flipped up the hood on the 1973 Allis 160. The paint on the fuel tank is covered by the hood and looks way different than the rest of the tractor. It is original paint, but I don't know how much the color has changed over the years. So I just painted a piece of tape with Rustoleum Farm Equipment paint. Allis Chalmers orange #7458830. I placed the painted tape in the area of protected paint, took a picture. Picture taken in the shop, doors are open, no flash. The right side of the picture is the end of the tank, near your knees. This is exposed. it looks to me the exposed paint has faded darker and "dingier". We talk about cheap aftermarket paint fading to pink. There is no pink here. Also I "waxed" it all with WD40 to give the old paint some temporary gloss.  |

Yes, 1972 should be PO#2. But some say the Rustoleum spray is Corporate Orange. My intent was just to show the relative color difference of 46 year old original paint to the Rustoleum spray can paint. Cans of Tisco paint states PO1 or PO2 on the can. I think the paint industry is a little dodgy. |
