MF red paint.

[Bill Turtle]

I have a MF65 and a 135. Could anyone tell me whether the red paint for the tinwork and the grey for the chassis/wheels would be the same shade on both tractors?
I have decided to put some more paint on them both to prevent rust getting worse.

I know this no immediate help, but if you can find the other page it may be what you want.

I’m sure the purists will and could certainly argue all year about the correct colour, in the meantime I would strongly suggest the seven P’s to ensure your paint does what it is supposed to;

Prior and proper preparation prevents pee poor performance.

I am just doing a sympathetic tidy up on a MF65 Mk2 and according to Sammy Neil it is BMW Hellrot Red 314.

This is the the colour I am referring to

You're going to like this, but perhaps not too much. According to Darren Tebbitt .. who wrote that MF Paint Colour article in Classic Tractor May 2015 and who knows , you need the following:-

MF 65 Mk 1 - MF 'Dark' Red
MF 65 Mk 2 - MF 'Super' Red
MF 135 - MF Super Red

Having said all this, opinions have been known to differ

I’ll take that @Captain Sensible because the 65 is a mk2! One paint to do both. The 135 is very pink at the present time.

Wheels and chassis on the 65mk2-Stoneleigh grey.
Wheels on the 135-Silvermist, and if it's an early one...up to (I think)1967,the centres were red. 135 chassis also Stoneleigh grey.

I used Ford Radiant Red 2k on mine and they look great, probably one of the nicest reds you can get.
