Paint color for Leinbach Line red?

[AmericanTractorDriver]

Hello,

I would like to repaint a Leinbach line implement, and am trying to determine the proper (or as close as possible) shade of red. Numerous Google seaches and turned up nothing. Has anyone found a good paint color for Leinbach?

Thanks.

Interesting. I did a google image search and one of the pictures did show a blue plow. The rest were red. I already have JD green paint, but have been toying with the idea of keeping this piece looking 'original'.

Lots of the aftermarket short line makers simply use the colors of the major tractor companies. That's who they want to sell things to so it makes sense. Almost all that I see is JD green, IH red, Ford blue, Kubota orange or Cat yellow. Not sure of Leinbach but my guess is IH red and Ford blue.

By the way, the acrylic enamel paint the dealer sells doesn't cost much more than the lower quality alkyd enamel the farm store sells and is waayyyy better. I have some "yard art" I did with lefoiver IH red acrylic enamel from a dealer and it looks great after 10 years outside.
