White paint codes

[kb88]

I"m going to be painting a 2-135 series 3 and a 1982 white 4-175 and was wondering if anyone has the paint codes for the gray and silver?

Thanks
Kevin

I don't have any numbers,but I got it from the Agco dealer. The silver is called Metallic Argent Silver. That stuff is a pain to spray. Seems like the pigment wants to seperate. About the first two passes just looked wet,then a third pass the pigment came through,but by then I'd have it so thick it would run. Frustrating to say the least.

Silver is the same as 1979 chrysler metalic silver. watch out for the dark charcoal the paint number will give you a dark purple

I think if I could come up with some automotive paint it would turn out better. I would like to base coat and clear coat. White never did have very good paint.

I had really good luck with single stage automotive paint from NAPA. They will have the proper paint codes for the argent silver, and charcoal metallic in whatever grade of paint you are after. A friend painted my 2-105 this past spring, and I couldn't have been happier with those paints. You do have to tinker with air pressure and the amount of reducer to get those metallic paints to spray properly. We always got it dialed in by the last coat though!
