Paint question

[Ken (48 Cub)]

1957 Lowboy...what color white for the wheel centers and grill? The 950 white looks cream to me, thanks.

That's what IH calls white.

You are right, the 935 you get from caseIH is way to yellowish to me. I'm not so sure it was originally that creamy; all the newish 84 and 86 tractors I remember growing up had side panels that were more of a pure white. Anyhow, you need 901 white. I came up with this via google:

Napa Crossfire/martin Senour acrylic enamel 53A-3965

I'm sure some more digging would give you a code in PPG, Nason, or whatever.

The white that IH used was not a stark white, but more of a cream color.

I don't think IH ever used 902 white on tractors. It was used on implements from what I have been able to learn. In '57 they would have used 901.
