Ford 1200

I thought I posted this but could not remember my password and I'm not sure it posted.

I am looking to match the white paint on my 1982 Ford 1200 tractor. Possibly something from rustoleum or some other easily available brand.

I can.t help with what will match it but Ford called it gray gloss not white.

Rustoleum. Topside marine paint. Oyster white. I got it at lowes. I'm not a fan of some of the ford gray/ whites. They seem too dingy to me. This is my current project

Thank you to all who responded. Now I have a plan.

I bought the ford light gray which was all I could find but it is too dark. It is definitely a shade of white on the later tractors.

So how does that work out, taping off the tire to keep from painting it. My rear wheels are only 8-16 and I considered taking them off the rims.

The light gray is what was used on the 8N and 100 series. Gray gloss is the correct color and it does look like a shade of white until you try spraying white on it.
