Been using Rustoleum Regal Red for years. Rattle cans always on the shelf at "Home Cheapo", inexpensive too. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 9,469 #10 Posted October 13, 2017 Personally I like sunrise red I painted my C-161 8 speed with it and Cecil liked it at the last show he attended. I feel like we are beating a dead horse with the paint topic but I got it directly from the man himself "there is no official WheelHorse red" Cecil told me that back then paint mixing wasn't the science it is today so there is variations in the color. So as most of us agree, if you paint it red and you like it then that is your Wheel Horse red! 5 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same here I also use VHT 2000 degree paint. for some areas. I think Wally World is cheaper AKA Walmart. Enjoy the project. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TDF5G 2,072 #12 Posted October 13, 2017 (edited) I've used the rattle cans of Genuine Wheel Horse/Toro red over several years also. They aren't all exact matches either. Edited October 16, 2017 by TDF5G 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
