I am going to say red, I think but I could be wrong that the black seat pans did not come out until the c-1#5 series, At least the one on my C-100 is red...

I think in 73 they started painting them red, before that they where black on the high back 2 piece seats.

I finally decided majority rules! 1974 C-160 Seat Pan is RED! IH Red. I found different companies make different versions of IH Red. Some are actually too orange! Valspar is hard to find anymore around here. So I just picked up Rustoleum IH Red and we tested it first.Looks to be the one. I originally bought a gallon of Valspar but it was not enough and the store changed vendors... Thanks to everbody for the replies, really appreciate it. Duke
