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.

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.

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!

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
