[Farmall] Farmall Paint

[Richard Pope]

Wow, thanks for all the replies regarding the paint I'll need for the rims 
on the Super M.  I think I'll check into the Rustoleum stainless steel paint 
when I go to town today.  Once I finish with the new tires and rims, I'll 
store them in the garage until I get the tractor painted.  Now I need some 
info on where to get International Red paint and is there a paint part 
number?  I've heard Rustoleum makes it and it can be purchased at Wal Mart, 
but they say it's been discontinued.  Any ideas?  I'm thinking of using 
rattle cans on the frame and then getting the sheet metal powder coated.

Again, thanks in advance...........this list is great !
