paint for Co-Op tractor

saraclyston · Apr 15, 2011

I am restoring an old Co Op tractor. I was wondering if anyone knew of what paint I should use. It is a 1949 Co Op E3.

I can't vouch for this color scheme but it is promoted as a 1949 CO-OP E-3. I would say it is accurate. The paint #'s I do not know,but it is a start for you. JH

They used two different paint codes on their tractors. The early tractors paint code is Dupont's 43790 and the later tractors used Duponts MAR90T-22014. Any of the auto paint stores should be able to cross-reference these numbers if you don't have Dupont in your area. Hal

Volkswagon Pumpkin Orange is what I was told when I painted mine. The picture from J.Wondergem looks right.
