John Deere 2130 Restoration

[DeereTim]

Hello, first post from me so be gentle!
We have just bought a 1977 John Deere 2130.

Its going to need a lot of TLC and paint!

My question is- what is the best paint that is close to the Matt Black finish on the OPU cabs?

John Deere Satin Black.

Nice looking tractor, just make sure you paint those front hubs and rear axle centers Yellow.

Hi, another paint question for the JD people.
I would like to have a go at re finishing the tractor with
pack paint rather than the plain enamel type. On searching for 2 pack JD green, lots of suppliers seem to stock it.
Does anyone have any experience of using a particular brand? I.e vapormatic/commercial supplier. Looking for something the correct shade for the 1977 era, ease of use, longevity.
Thanks in advance, Tim & Sam.
