Stock Gray IH paint?

[Knuckledragger]

I'm sorry if this has already been answered, but I am rebuilding one of my engines and really like the stock IH paint color. I would like to know if it is available somewhere. I can get shiny crap at Home Depot, but prefer the matte (flat?) look.

New ford gray engine paint is as close as you will find and it is shiny till it gets a few miles on it.

Wouldn't tractor supply have the correct IH gray?

Farm and Fleet if you got one by you, look at tractor enamel

Thanks, guys. There are no farm or tractor suppliers around here, but they have websites. I'll try them.

I found a Rustoleum gray gloss color that I like. It's a little lighter than the factory gray, but looks great anway.

Huge success today! As I was perusing the spray paint at Home Depot, I noticed that Rustoleum now has satin finish colors. I looked further and found in their "Painters Touch" line there is a color called "Granite" in the satin finish, it is a perfect match for the stock gray on my 6.9!

Now all I have to do is reassemble the engine. And no, it wasn't waiting all this time just for paint.

Not bad, only 2 months to the day, to find the right paint.

Just hope it's a high enough temperature paint.
