I plan on painting my YM2220D tractor as soon as the weather warms up a bit. The sheet metal is in pretty good shape and I have already filled in a number of small dents but there are spots where the paint has worn off. I thought about ordering a bunch of "rattle" cans but since I already have the compressor and paint gun I figured I would use that.

Does anyone know what color paint the grey market tractors use? Looks to me the M/F paint comes pretty close and is easy enough to find. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

How about you bring It to your local paint supply and have them match It exactly for you

I would if I had a trailer, lol.
I suppose I could just take a part and have them match that, but the local tractor supply has a pretty good supply of different tractor paints including a couple of different colors of red. I'm not concerned about it being a "perfect" match just close.

Thanks for the suggestion though.:)

I'd agree with you on MF Red being quite close.

Last fall I did some work on my Yanmar tiller and had a rattle can of Yanmar Red. The fresh paint was noticeably different than the original paint. Most likely due to age difference and fading.

My Koyker FEL looks very close to the Yanmar Red on the tractor. Have a rattle can of paint with a sticker that says Koyker Mfg on it and below that says MF Red.

Thanks Mickey_Fx. I also have a Koyker FEL, so the Massey paint should work well.
