That's a fact. And I did light coats to avoid any runs. Nice color hammered or not so I couldn't miss. Highly recommend it.

Ken:

Jim and Al are correct on this ... and I made the same darn mistake searching as I have time and time before because I forget that it has to be electro-galvanizing. You are lucky as there is a couple shops that serve your area of NY .. so it still is an option - electro-galvanizing company near altamont ny - Blast Cleaning Services Suppliers serving Upstate New York

If you just want to paint then I would suggest Case/IH Silver as Cecil recommends.

Hi,
Been watching your outstanding work and posted pictures. Great job!!
As others have said that the Rustoleum Hammered Silver will work real well and the price is right at Wal-Mart. I used on my 48 and it worked real and looks original!

I bought a lightly used set of rims that came off a cub used only for mowing. The inside of the rims looked nearly new. I found some paint that matched it almost perfectly. Here is the link...

Was going to use GM wheel silver, but the paint store guy said I would like Ford Argent Silver better. I'm sure it's not a match, but I like the color and the shine (Centari)!

I brushed on the IronGard silver on the last set of rims I did and it came out nice.

Has anyone ever noticed the diversity of replies that exist for posts on paint? Man O'man - so many good posts and many with pix - What's a FCUB restorer to do? I guess, I'm going to need to see one in person at the NE CubFest and decide. It's damn near time I get Rex '48 on wheels.

Seems like paint color and oil viscosity topics always get a lot of forum attention.

The following statements are the opinions of one individual and do not reflect upon the members of the forum.
Tractors with paint seem to rust slower. (regardless of color) EXCEPT GREEN
Engines seem to run longer with oil in them. (regardless of the viscosity)

Too bad you're not here in central IL - $125 gets all 4 wheels done! Red on front & disc, silver on the rear rims - scratches are going to be less on the powder coated than on a paint job and mine are working tractors! Dusty B

A true "restorer" only has one option. Recreate the original electro galvanized finish. Otherwise you are forever doomed to be a fix-er-upper.

I use a Rustoleum product called "cold galvanizing" found at Menards to touch up chain link fence posts. It comes in two "colors" both are silver but I think the "bright" matches better don't remember the other "color" name but it is a bit chalky looking.
