Buying Advice Paint - Branson Red

[Aquamoose]

If the rattle can is practically the same, couldn’t one use that to match the paint with?

brush guard maybe a little large easy to remove

Good call.

Red is hard to do in anything but automotive type or real industrial paint. The home center type pigments will all fade. Best to find a stock color.

Any luck on that?

Yes on the Red, it's Cherry....on the label on the rear of the can with the bar code. almost a drop dead match....I can't tell the difference. On the Gray, no luck. Take something to Lowes and get a color match mixed...or somewhere else they mix to your spec and do rattle cans.

Ford Gray isn't it?

Nope. Darker, almost black.

Newer JD and GEHL industrial/construction equipment has grey paint that looks to be a close match. I haven't seen those machines side by side with a Branson to compare however.

I'm trying to think of an easily detachable part from my tractor... something that could be brought to a paint shop for matching/mixing.

The drawbar is painted grey, is easily removable, and not too big to bring in to a paint store.

For the grey I use rustoleum gray in a gloss and keep adding rustoleum satin black or semi gloss until I get a good match. That works for me.
