Charlie Smith 142 #1 Posted August 11, 2013 Hello, As you all know I'm slowly.....very slowly working through restoring my little old raider 10, I just need a little more help.... I have asked this one before? But memory's gone walk abouts and I can't find my old post, so... What's the best red paint to use? Is it CASE IH RED? Or do you guys use something different? If it is case IH red, do any of you know where I can buy it in aerosole tins? I've seen it about in normal paint pots, just wondered if they did spray cans, Thanks, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charging10 252 #2 Posted August 11, 2013 Ive never used case IH red, only the rustoleum regal red for my 72 charger10 wheel horse ,many people say this is very close to the stock color,I purchased this at rural king tractor supply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anglo Traction 761 #3 Posted August 11, 2013 Hi Charlie, In view of your location, I suggest it may be worth checking out Ernest Doe in Albourne. Formerly Harper & Eede . They may still have a franchise link with Case IH and so may stock the paint , or obtain it for you. Give them a ring on 01273 834689. Price on Bay of E for 400ml Can is over UKL£12.00 ea incl post. Your gonna need a few. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie Smith 142 #4 Posted August 11, 2013 Yes this is what I just found out thank you everyone for you answers, I only wanted an areasole to spray paint my cultivator so I shouldn't need too much, and when I paint the actual tractor I'm going to spray with my compressor and spray guns, if I had to spray the whole tractor with areosoles I think it might run me into debt, seems very expensive in spray cans, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pmackellow 12 #6 Posted August 11, 2013 IH red is what I have used in the past... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dual Drive Horse 6 #7 Posted August 12, 2013 Case IH red is what we have used on several tractors, and appears a very good match. We ordered some "Wheelhorse Red" from one of our suppliers and the tin says "post office red" but I haven't tried it yet to see how good a match it is.
