1955 Ford 640

[Ipowell]

Hello

I have a 1955 Ford 640 and have been trying to find the paint codes for the grey and red so I can cross-reference with DuPont or PPG but I am not having any luck.
Does anyone know the paint codes or have used DuPont or PPG on their ford 600?

According to a book I have, How To Restore Ford Tractors, by Tharran E. Gaines, Gaines is quoting John Smith about the colors. Who says that he used Dupont Centari C8508 (single stage). It is a General Motors red from the mid-1980s. For the gray, he used PPG Delstar DAR 31657. This is listed in the old Ditzler books as Ford tractor gray.
