Looking for matching paint

[cdover73]

Does anyone know the actual name or color code of the grey on the frame of most newer Mahindra's? I built a front bumper and grill guard and want to paint it to match the frame, but I can't find a match anywhere. I hate to settle with semi-gloss black but may have to.

It seems to depend. The factory red on my hood is a pretty close match to good old Rustoleum Red. If you aren't too picky I'd suggest trying that.

My loader (made by KMW) has faded poorly in the sun and now the loader and the tractor don't match that closely. Not a big deal. If it gets really bad I'll just paint the loader with Rustoleum Red as that match is good enough for me.

I think the spray paint that they sell at the dealer is the same paint as the KMW paint so it may not match very well.

It appears that they are using different paint sources for the tractor and the loaders.

My dealer has both the red and grey paint available. Have you checked a Mahindra dealer?

Like Bob said the dealer should have both colors available. I got a can of each with my tractor. Since then I've used several red paint cans purchased from Walmart, TSC, etc. that are all very close. Haven't bought any gray yet but I'm sure these stores have something close such as dark machinery gray.

Thanks all. I will try to find something this weekend and finish the bumper. I will also try again to post some pics of it if I can get them small enough to post. I'm sure I will figure it out though.

These are the Dupont paint numbers I got from someone on here:

00 series red -N9101 alternate CF01
10 series red -M9219 alternate CF01
10 series gray -C6051
