wasmeneh Posted October 30, 2003 Posted October 30, 2003 Found the orange/red Simplicity color at Ace Hardware as suggested by a forum member(Thanks it matches great) Anybody have a similar "off the shelf" spay can for the creamy white hood color on the 4211H? Thanks in advance Mike
fuzy Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 Mike, Simplicity has the paint still available. I carry it in stock. email me at parts@simplicityparts.com
roma3112 Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 Mike i think that the Rust-oleum "almond" may be what you are looking for, I was in the process of restoring a 4111h and i was very happy with the results i got. john
Dadsy98 Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 I also used the Rustoleum Almond for my tire rims. looks good to me. Steve
DaleC Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 Is that Cream color the same as on the Allis B series.
MikeES Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 I think that the almond colored paints are too dark. I have used Plasti-kote Vehicle paint VP-19 OFF WHITE. Found many places including Wal-Mart. It matches the cream of the original wheels just perfect. My AC B212 is this color as are most of my tractors except for the 1974 3415H which has grey wheels and hood.
KSever Posted October 31, 2003 Posted October 31, 2003 Mike, This is the Almond that I bought at the True Value Hardware. [img]http://www.simpletractors.com/club2//attach/KSever/finished1.jpg[/img]
TimJr Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 The correct orange and white paints for a 4200 are still available from Simplicity - they are good paints. There may even be a decal under your hood or seat that will give the part number for the spray cans.
rjgoth Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 The Simplicity paint is very expensive, and the quality is not as good, for what you pay for the paint. I have found that it does cover very good, and for paint from a spray can it is quite easy to control. However I have found that it fades badly and quickly. The paint is also very soft and scratches very easily for a few weeks. If I were wanting to paint a tractor, you might as well have a paint store color match the simplicity paint and use a high quality automotive paint. There is an auto paint store here that will even put the automotive paint in a spray can for you. It is a bit more expensive than the simplicity paint but the quality is much higher. "a job worth doing is worth doing well" That is my opinion on simplicity paints. Some may have had better luck with the simplicity paint that I did, I just was not satisfied with it. Ryan
MarkM1958 Posted November 2, 2003 Posted November 2, 2003 Thanks for all this info, It's giving me all kind of ideas
wasmeneh Posted November 2, 2003 Author Posted November 2, 2003 Thanks for all the responses, I'll use the Rustoleum to do some touch ups. Mike
HubbardRA Posted November 3, 2003 Posted November 3, 2003 I used True Value Navajho White for my wheels. It is a very clean looking cream color. Very close to the original color of the wheels.
JimS Posted November 4, 2003 Posted November 4, 2003 Wasmeneh, What was the color name of the orange/red paint that you bought at Ace Hardware? Thanks. Jim
dlcentral Posted November 5, 2003 Posted November 5, 2003 Paint is what you want to make of it,Wal**rt or ppg,there is no right or wrong, costwise,I usually go with middle of road quality /durability,Will be trying a ''new'' type on the AC big 10,$15 per qt. comput. color matched.,,Beautiful piece Kris congrats!,,
wasmeneh Posted November 5, 2003 Author Posted November 5, 2003 Jim, The Ace paint is Rust Stop, #17132, Allis Chalmers Orange. I used it to cover some rusted areas and I can hardly tell where the old ends and new starts, I used it on my 4211H. Mike
BigSix Posted November 6, 2003 Posted November 6, 2003 The Rustoleum Almond looks very good on my trailer wheels. I know from exp. in other applications the paint is durable--haven't mounted the wheels yet. My original paint was so faded a meaningful comparison was impossible. What I am saying, however, is that Rust. Almond looks so right that I feel you can't go wrong. No offense to those that go with a pure white, but that Almond, on my stuff and my buddy's Int'l Cub wheels, just looks more appropriate and original, to me. Kris--thank you for providing the site with another museum-quality example! I love how you took the time to disassemble when you painted, so that all your fasteners show up as silver. I assume that's how the originals were done? Anyway, it gives such detail and really sets off the tractor, IMHO. I don't have your patience, and I think it would break my heart to get it dirty, but I sure love seeing it done. You should be extremely proud of your art. Peter
TomMaryland Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 I have some Krylon Almond that I used with NAPA etching primer on the front wheels of my landlord...looks pretty good, but the hardness might not be there. It didn't budge when I mounted the new tires, which is a good sign. Can anyone tell me about the white color on the dash/frame of '68 landlords? Was that the same cream color? or white white? I'm going to be color matching and using an airgun with hardener in it pretty soon.
Agricola Posted January 23, 2004 Posted January 23, 2004 When I looked at the picture of the Landlord I noticed the bolts were not painted. In the original, was that the way it was? Did Simplicity put the unit together and then paint it or was it painted part by part and then assemebled? Or was it a bit of both?

The original parts were painted individually, then assembled with cadmium-plated rust-proof bolts... I have an Allis Big Ten dealer sales training book that points this out as a "feature and benefit" for the salespeople, saying that the fully painted surfaces are much more rust-resistant long-term than painting a machine that has already been assembled....
oots Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 John I need a full set of decals and both colors of the simplicity paint for my 7016-6-speed. thanks
Storm7012 Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 Rust-oelum antique white is what I used on the 7016 when I painted it last summer. Easy to find and not as pricey as simplicity paint.
GLPointon Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 I used "Rustoleum CANVAS WHITE" & simplicity red on my Simplicity Landlord 7010 and it looks great & available at local Ace Hardware.
