MF65 Paint Colors

[ribbitt]

I need the paint color codes and/or names for the correct red and gray paint for a 1963 Massey Ferguson 65 diesel. Also a good place to buy a few rattle cans of same. I gotta buy a new exhaust manifold and paint it. Dang tree limbs.... I think the gray might be Metallic Flint Gray, but I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time! Thanks in advance.

You are correct About the metallic flint gray.

If you have a Tractor Supply (TSC) near you they carry Massey red and gray in spray cans under the Majic brand for about ten dollars a can. At least they do in my area of Southern Illinois and Western Kentucky.

Is that metallic gray or the non-metallic used on later tractors?

Here is a picture of my 1958 mf 65. I am going to start painting it. I've done some research. I'd like to get the colors correct, but I am considering using the mf gray and mf red from TSC. My Father bought this tractor new, and kept it greased and oiled. I took this picture to show that the Souder loader does indeed work well. I would appreciate any advice about what realistic color codes to get that are available here in Pennsylvania USA.

That's a lot of log for that loader....

I used Rustoleum Antique Pewter on this tractor. I think it is reasonably close to the flint gray metallic.

My 135 with my version of flint gray metallic made from mixing rustoleum paint (1qt gloss black, 1 qt gloss smoke gray, and 1 qt of aluminum rustoleum with gloss hardener). I also made the silver mist by mixing a quart of rustoleum gloss smoke gray with a quart of aluminum paint. I used rustoleum sunrise red.
