Correct paint color for a 1944 Model C AC

saele · Jan 12, 2015

I will be painting my 1944 AC model C and want to use the correct paint color, is it Persian Orange #1 or #2?
Thanks for any information you provide as I haven't been able to find this clue yet.

#1 the #2 is for the later A/C tractors

Persian #1 before about 1960

Didn't they call the newer one Corporate Orange?

Well to be correct there is 3 colors. #1 for the real old stuff like from say 1940 to 1960 then you have #2 for the 60s etc then you have the latter stuff in the 70/80s

Thanks everyone for the input, I am new at using these forums and am what you would call an apprentice when it comes to paint and painting, so appreciate any advice I get. I am also restoring my Dad's SC Case and am using Herschel - Adams Tractor and Implement Enamel with Harder in it. So far I find it goes on easy and looks good. It is what I think is reasonable at about $42.00 per gallon plus harder. I did read in a forum last night that it doesn't come highly recommended. Has anyone else used it and what kind of luck did you have?
