FORD PAINT CODE

[jt candycane]

The store I went to use to be a NAPA store he is a tractor guy/collector. He use to sale NAPA/martin senour paint and still does but his inventory is low. He ask me if I wanted him to mix a sample he would if he had what he needed if not he would order it.

I googled martin senour paint code cross reference

Some were (you could play all day clicking on all the numbers that come up on there site) I read about the ford paint codes. They said they did not know the order ford used I think I read M1 came before M2 for what its worth.

I'm trying to find a close paint match for the original Ford Tractor M1J-1639-SE (BLUE) that was used on the early Thousand Series Models. I bought some TISCO Empire Blue, but see they make two shades, a TP360 and a TP365 and I don't remember which one I had and the can is long gone. Anyway, whatever, it was way too light -more like the later New Holland blue or the Detroit Lions Honolulu Blue. I think the original Ford paint code is M1J-1639-SE, Blue. I bought a can of the CNH/IRON GARD NEW HOLLAND BLUE and it the same shade as the TISCO stuff. I found a Dupli-Color shade, but the store I was at yesterday says that is an old defunct number. Does anyone have a good suggestion for a close match?

Hi Tim,

When i was painting my Jubilee rims I took the hood in to the dealer selling valspar urethane. He put his scanning device on the hood and it instantly came up Ford Grey, in the shade I was after, so i went with that.
If you're satisfied with the blue you have now, you could do the same thing; i.e., take a painted blue part to an auto paint place.

He is I doubt he has any paint left. He does know his paint and has plenty of paint data that is if he will get off his arse and look it up.
