Hey better late than never right

No shame in resurrecting this old thread, I recently bought a 3510 and was wondering what to use to touch up a few things. Sunrise red it is, Thanks!

I tried doing a color comparison using several colors already and I can tell you that Sunrise Red is NOT a match for the red on my 2018 2655. It was too light of a red. Needs to be a few shades darker. Still trying to find the right match to it. Picked up another shade of red at home depot yesterday, just waiting for the rain to stop so I can spray my test piece with it.

I just picked up a 2018 4540 2WD with an FEL. I'm learning all I can. If you have any tips or questions let me know. We can learn together. That's why we have threads or sites like this right?!

Are the new Mahindras still single stage paint?

Are the new Mahindras still single stage paint?

I thought pretty much ALL industrial products use a single stage baked alkyd or synthetic enamel?

If someone is using a more expensive process, I would be curious to know

Apparently Mahindra uses different shades of red by year and possibly across models (like the Mahindra vs TYM vs Mitsubishi built). That said, for my 2018 2655 (TYM built) I found Rustoleum Colonial Red is very close but a slight shade darker. Would be good for an implement but not for touching up body panels. I was also told that Toro red is very close but haven't been able to get a can to test it.

What? No more roller? You know, two stage paint, forward and backwards.

I've always been partial to brush streaks myself.

Has anyone tried IH ( International Harvestor) red? You can buy it at TSC - Tractor Supply Company and even Wally World. Just a question
