Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

1 gallon less 8 oz removed of Kubota Orange Rustolium enamel. Add 1 8oz can on Chinese red and stir well .
Spray mixed 5/2/1 paint /med. reducer/ hardener . Add atmospheric dust for filler when spraying.
Resulting colour is very close to the sample I have that is about 50 years old although slightly darker , but the sample may have some fade even being from inside dash tower plate . Sure made the blower housing and auger look nice .

Awesome! Is "Chinese Red" a universal pigment, or a paint product made by Rustoleum?

It is a darker red a little towards the burgundy wine . I had some NOS 8 oz tin given to me . It is very similar to regal red .

The first pic. is the back of the tower access plate with 50 year old Power Red next to the DE1607 Chevy engine Orange/Red
Second is the plate next to the blower housing with the Kubota Orange /Chinese Red mix . If only 4 or 6 oz would be a little closer to the original figuring some fade even though in side tower.
But I like it the way it is . To me it looks more like what I would imagine a "Power Red " would look like if I had never seen a sample .
Now to work on Desert Sand .
Finally figured out a way to upload pics.

Looks great and you can't beat the price for that quality paint! The other thing is that true tone color doesn't show in pictures. All Case tractors I have ever seen were old and faded. So I have no idea what a freshly painted power red looks like

What I find to me seems there is a lot of variants of power red right from oem. I've sprayed rattle cans and had quarts and gallons of power red. I've had my hands on a lot of case and ingersoll tractors along with many attachments. Alot of them seemed to have a different shade. Even the back of the tower covers. I know weather and age will have an effect. The later Maine built ones seemed to be more red to me. Lol idk if that is true but sure seems it. Regardless power red is a nice color.
