3 differant colors of White?????

[gmccool]

I'm restoring a 6000 pedal tractor for a friend of mine. I went to our local Ford dealer to buy paint this morning and he tells me there are 3 different colors of white. This pedal was only made in 1965-66-67. What would be the correct color of White that was used on farm tractors of the 1965-67 era. I don't want to guess & I sure don't want to paint it & find out I used the wrong color. Thanks Gerald

This is what you want. It goes on with a slight brown-yellow tint, but dries to an off white.

It s actually called Ford gray
Don t know what year they started using it but all 65/94 models used Ford Gray that looked like a off white, has a bit of a tannish look when first applied until it dries
The Ford blue was used 63/99
94/later NH tractors used white
99/later NH blue has a purplish look
