Paint it orange?

[gt14rider 1,085]

Hi all, I am working on the 856 doing some upgrades, didn't plan painting. The whole thing is orange, it looks factory just really faded and PO painted the hood and fenders silver should i try to match orange color or paint her red .

Red. 

 

Or ...ish...

 

My favorite color is orange but I can not make one brand the color of another. 

 

That's why my Cinnamon Horse is reddish brown or brownish red and my Patriot Horse was red white and blue.

Her name is Christine, she bucket me off put me in the hospital for a week. Then the misses did a wheelie though the garden, mowed two rows of green beans down. But she deserves a little TLC, Christine was RED.

The orange could be pretty cool. Id go with a whole new gloss orange job though

Aww I'm just picking with @ebinmaine.

 

...But have been looking for the right shade of orange for a tractor for years. One of these days.

Is it me, or did someone try to make it look like a Ford 9N?? Looks to be an excellent solid tractor.
