So, this might be a slightly annoying post to some since the paint codes are listed at the top of the forum but I have a more detailed request for paint discussion. I'm specifically working on a 1954 66 Diesel Row Crop.

1.  Does anyone get their paint from an &quot;oliver dealer?&quot; I have called my local AGCO dealer and he admits he can get it but doesn't want to because he has to get such a large quantity at a time.  Wouldn't this be a good way to be sure and have the right color?  I'm used to painting Farmalls and I can just go down to the dealership and grab it off the shelf.  It looks better than any Dupont color match job.

2.  If paint is not available from a dealer, what source in the past has been the best value for paint.  I see Martin Senour and Dupont are listed.

3.  What mix/brand do you use for hardner and thinner?  I'm guessing just what's recommended on the label?

Thanks
