I recently re-acquired our old D17 IV. It is still in great mechanical condition, but has been sitting outside for 20 years, and will be needing some re-painting. I remember some discussions on this forum regarding a good source of both spray cans and gallons of paint with good color and quality, but can't find it.
I have two questions then. The first dumb one is, which Persian Orange do I want - 1 or 2? I assume there is only one Cream.
Second, what is a good source? I have heard negatives about the off-color of TSC paints. This tractor will be working, not show, but I would like the correct original color.
Thanks.

I can answer the color question, its persian orange #2. Everyone has their own opinion on paint and I'm no expert so I will let them chime in. Ryan

I used AGCO paint on mine. It's a little pricey, but very good. Holds up really well. Mine is Corporate Orange, which is only slightly different than PO#2, however they do also offer PO #2 (which is what the tractor was painted with). For rims (and HUBS), I think Rustoleum has an almond color that is a good match. Here in Canada I use Tremclad Recreational White - excellent quality and price.
