Default Paint for my 149
I am having trouble finding the right white paint for my 149. The paint codes I have found have been able to be mixed, but they are just too white-not creamy white line it should be. Has anyone tried the Ford color- Winbleton white? I am using the base/clear method. Any help with a brand of paint or something would be helpful. Maybe this Ford color would be close enough

IIRC Wimbledon white is pretty white.

I would be curious to know as well. It's the same thing with Oliver. I ended up getting the clover white (which is a creamy color) at an Agco dealer. Regular white just doesn't look right.

Yes, once you spray the last coat of white on wait about 45 minutes and then clear. I've used both PPG and Dupont over the Case/IH paint without issue.

99% of that don't mix brands crap comes straight from the manufacturers themselves because if you're mixing brands then you're not spending as much with them. I mix brands all the time and I've never seen anything bad happen.

As long as you aren't mixing Rust-Oleum into the mix you should be ok. Any time I have put that over anything else it lifts and cracks. Or the other way around something else on top of rustoleum.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
