I've used the rustoleum transport yellow, and the rustoleum almond not bad but seem to be a better match to newer Cub colors ,need something between almond and bright white ! I've heard that Krylon -dover white- may be a better match for the late 60's Cubs but haven't been able to locate any in stores to compare, like said earlier nothing like the right stuff in a gun with some hardener but a PITA to do a couple small pcs.

The Magic Paint is for the Magic Bus.

Doesn't ever really set up, so the bugs love it. Thin, .....not a good match. The Van Sickle in the quart is good for the red '82 series, but the yeller is off a little. Still, it is a cheap alternative and holds up alright.

I have no problem with any enamel that comes in a quart,,,
Dump in the hardener,, they are all the same,,

This is Majic,

The paint is usually hard within a couple hours,,
if it takes longer,, I put the paint on too thick,,,

I also like Caterpillar old yellow,,, I get it at the CAT dealer,,,

Like I said,, they are all the same to me,, with hardener,,,

In reply to Joe K, the Rustoleum Safety Red Professional rattle cans are not the same red as IH Red. It's a bit lighter in color, not as Deep Red as the IH Red. Still a pretty good looking Red. Once I get more familier with site I'll post some pictures.

I really like the dover white color. A small hardware store stocked it where as the big box stores did not. That was a few years ago,need to see if they still do.

I think almond is closer to all three than canvas white is. It’s not great for 01 and 02 but it’s closer than canvas white. If I had to pick one to do it all, I’d pick almond. Just my opinion.

I have found that I believe it is Navajo white is realty close to the 902 white. I will have to go look at the can. I have the paint sanded down on my 125 so that each layer of paint shows. I then sprayed the Almond, and antique whites and found those to be on either side of the original paint. I then stumbled on some Navajo white. I will have to get a photo.

Got a couple of pics for yall. One is of a set of paint samples trying to match the IH 902 on a 125. The other is my newest treasure find.

The paint are all samples of Rustoleum rattle can. IT seems to be difficult to find the rustoleum in the quart cans in a very good selection.
The paint shown as original was exposed by sanding down to it with fine grit paper. I found it interesting that there was no primer from the factory.
