The factory red paint with fresh decals and a fresh emblem on the grille like mentioned, along with the silver(galvanized) rims looks pretty darn sharp. You can also probably get by without getting any flak with a chrome exhaust stack for a bit more "color" if your ears can stand it. To answer your question of "when" they started painting the grilles white- on M's it was "never", at least from the factory. When the 50 series came out in, what, '56 or so, lots of dealers and individual owners painted their older M grille's white so that they'd look more "modern". Like mentioned below, it's yours and if you wanna paint it like a 450, go for it. Heck, even give it a red and black paint job like the newer Case-IH's if you want....that might be kinda neat. Paint it however you'd like(but please, try to resist the temptation to paint it green with yellow rims and decals!!!).
