You can get "really real" 2150 IH red paint at your local CaseIH dealer

I learned that with painting wheel weights!

Any good Automotive quality paint is going to cost high 200's to 450 per gallon.
I use a poly-Urethane automotive with hardener
tone it to our specs. Which is little richer,deeper then 2150.
All the work & time is in the prep. Don't ruin it by putting on cheap paint.
JMHO,Tony

I believe if you setup a free account on Case-IH website they would ship it to you. I have bought tractor parts from them through their site and had them shipped. No big deal.

$287 for a gallon of paint is cheap compared to some. Certainly not out of the ordinary.

I paid that amount or more for two quarts of a PPG paint in either White or Blue can't recall which one it was now when painting my No. 11 hay rake pieces, Hal.
