Rustoleum Spray Paint

[HVC Iowa]

In the past I used Rustoleum "Ford Gray" spray paint to paint my work tractor. It is a rust fighter paint that I liked because of it's light shade of gray. I have been unable to find this particular paint and don't really want to switch to a different color of gray for other parts of my tractor. Do any of you know where or what stores still carry this paint? I last bought it at our local farm & home store.

I think the paint you are refering to was Rustoleum #7755 ( Light Olive). That is what I used and believe it is the closest color to the original gray that Ford used on the 8N's. I have no longer seen it in any of the paint departments of my local stores, but was told that it is still available by special order. I still have a couple of spray cans in case I need to do any touch up, but surely would like to see it on the stores shelves again.

Thanks for your reply. The gray paint that I have used has a sticker on it labeling it as "Ford Gray". I am at work and don't know what the number is on the label. I don't think it is the paint you are referring to, but like your paint, I wish they were still selling it at my local Farm & Home.

Thanks for the replies. I think the Engine enamal paint is too dark for what I am looking for. I will check the Tisco paint to see how close the color match would be. Thanks again to all.

The TISCO Ford Med Gray spray can TP 240 SP ($6.00 per can) along with quarts and gallons are available from Just 8Ns.

I just bought a single can to see how it looks but have not used it yet. The can label states that it is a 'Heavy-Duty Alkyd Oil-Bassed Formula' and 'Contains Rust Arrestor'. The label does not mention that the surface needs to be primed. I would think that priming would be very desirable and would result in an improved finish. Does anyone recommend a primer that works well with TISCO paint?

From the posts in the fourms I understood that it is one of the better paints to use for the 8Ns. Glad to hear that it is better or at least equal to the Rustoleum Spray Paint.
