Sparky-(Admin) 19,535 #80 Posted September 4, 2015 lol..you don't like it? Should I go all white? All black? I'm all up for opinions... Not a fan of all white rims.....and Wheel Horse didn't sell a tractor with all white rims if you are ever shooting for an original look. There were black, almond and silver to the best of my knowledge.Mike..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian01 481 #88 Posted September 4, 2015 Opinions of brand of spray paint to use? I used Magic, Int' Harvester Red on the tractor itself...its real durable paint, once it drys, but takes days, literally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,906 #89 Posted September 4, 2015 I'm using Napa Tractor Red now. Not cheap. They mix it and put it in cans. dies fast and is strong. The 704 is Valspar IH red for comparison. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
