Say no to decals
 
5 Attachment(s)
Squirted my tins today...decided to pass on the black stickers that wrap under the hood..bare metal, 2k, little mud work, blocked out and shot black at the top, then when cured enough, i taped it off and shot case ih, iron guard 935....the grille frame was done the same way..does anyone know what color the seat pans are supposed to be?? No one answered my other thread...

Way better than stickers!!! GOOD JOB!

If you are referring to the pan that the springs bolt on to, it is yellow. If that isn't the part you are talking about, can you be more specific? :bigthink:

Thanks...no i mean the actual seat...im planning to take advantage of having an upholsterer as a friend...mine is white, but looks to be a lighter white...(through all the rust of course) and i like it vs the black ones i see everywhere...

In the pics in a book I have, all the restored quietlines the seat back (metal part) is painted white. The vinyl is black. Lew (darkminion) or Roland (R. Bedel) would be my choice of go-to guys on this question though.

Not to be picky or anything, just was wondering if its the creamish 935 color or a different white...looks lighter on mine but i cant really tell, as all the panels had faded differently..i do appreciate the help

Nothing wrong with being picky. If it was mine I'd be picky about the color too! One thing I can't stand, is when the color is wrong.

I do not know the answer. In the pics I have, it appears to match the wheel rim color.

Looks Great! I used decals on my 1200,but that looks way better! The seat is the same color as the rims and hood and side panels.

Rims and hoods are different colors.

I didn't know this. I've been painting them the same color.

The sprayed panels look GOOD.:ThumbsUp:

If I repaint my 800, I'll do it the same way...paint black, mask off, then paint white. If you don't get the masking tape on straight at first, you can always realign it. With decals, hmmmmm not so many chances to realign.

Thankyou fellas...so i wet sanded the parts last night...normally wouldnt be that way with a single stage, and an enamel, and for a tractor, but just cant help it i guess...looks like one could shave in it now...just decal and assembly or vice versa...as far as the color scheme seems to be; the wheels and sheet metal all look to be the same 935 white...the tractor is original paint, but as the rims are 8"×5.5" (or whatever they are) and 12"×8.5" which i believe didnt originally come on a 1250, im not for sure as to their original color...the seat though definitely seems to be a lighter white than the rest...i have tried to search for the color specs, but to no avail...does anyone know the color layout for a 1975 quietline??
