Most reds on the old units look very faded, once in awhile pulling a part will show the orig red. I'm not real fussy, I use what I can find in stores at this time. I think the IH red, think 1630 is real nice and is very good paint when bought thru IH dealers. I have also had good luck with Rustoleum's tractor paints in sprays, mostly using MF or the New Holland Reds on my last things painted. Can get in qts if you look around, but I do mostly rattle cans, expensive for whole tractor, but easier with less clean-up and such.
