Does anyone know or have the right colors for a 1950 8N. I have seen all kind of pictures and none are alike. Can you give me the name or the number of the paints.

Thank you for your time.

There is no right! Or rather everyone has their own right paint. The right paint is the one you like!

Check under "Reasearch & Info" over on the left side of the screen, and scroll down to "Paint Codes". That should give you a starting point.

The factory bought paint in bulk lots. There are many different shades. HTH

So , it "IS" OK to paint my 2n grey and "red"?

 

[Bob Purinton]

Anything but green and yellow.

Shouldn't be any red on a 2 9n Solid gray or the paint police might come after ya

 

[BrianLivingstone]

I'm very new to this and I had already blasted and painted a lot of parts " red" before I found out it should be all grey......Oh Well....

You get to paint it any color you like because it's your tractor.

The factory color was a solid battleship grey on the 9N and 2N.

If you want to paint it red and grey go right ahead. A lot of the 9n,s and 2n,s have been painted those colors over the years including I,m sure by people on this board. It is your tractor!!! Just do the best job you can on it and if you run in to something your not sure about just ask one of us we're all experts. Evidently I,m not as I spent 4 days last week having people tell what was wrong with my 39 9n # 849. I had the gentlemen that owns # 16 with me all week and he couldn't find anything wrong with it. Do it like you want to and be proud of it when you get done. Just my 2 cents

I painted my 46 2N red & grey and I like it. Make yourself happy.

If you paint it red don't call it restored.
