RobS 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2010 I am very happy with the DupliColor Whimbledon White. It's available at NAPA stores and others. I never tried the Rustoleum colors mentioned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timflury 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2010 I personally think the antique white is a little too dark for the later model tractors. I've heard that the canvas white (Rust-Oleum) or ivory are a closer match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

THEPATRIOT 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2010 Well i picked up the wheels from the blaster($5-each),then went to get some paint.I couldn't find the canvas white anywhere!!!I went home and looked through my supply's and found 1 can of Valspar primer and 1 of gloss white(both tractor paint)that i bought for a project last year.After letting them bake in the sun for a while,i shook them up and went to town.Here's a pic of the sandblasted wheels,and one after being sprayed.

Thanks in advance. All depends on the brand of paint.It took a full can of the Valspar tractor paint from TSC to do the fronts.The rears will take a bit more,not looking forward to it!
