B-maniac: Question PPG Code 43817 JD Green

[Cockbird_Hunter]

I was reading through archive posts last night & it seems that 46180, 41374, and 43817 are PPG paint codes for JD Green used by folks on this site. I would like to know which of these 3 codes is the darkest shade of green. I recently painted an H with Sikkens John Deere Greene code FLNA6595 and this is a direct match to the current production Deere AG tractors which is a lighter shade of green.

B-maniac: Could you post a picture of something painted w/ 43817?

Thanks!

Not being familiar with those other numbers I can't tell you which is darker or lighter but I have posted pics of a couple I've done with the PPG 43817. It was a perfect match for the protected top of air filter canister on My "B". Once cleaned off of oily sludge , it shined and looked just like new paint and even though I had allready decided on a code , this confirmed the match. Also matched perfectly the seat back that I got from Leland Schwantz (the seat man). Came painted and I didn't even have to re-paint it. There are probably a few codes that will be so close as to not tell the diff , but this is the one I will always use. Keep in mind that these are digital images. The ones of my B are with my digital and the MT he took with a more professional grade digital. Background also has a bearing.
