hey all,
I recently bought myself a 1964 Fordson Dexta it's the earlier of the year model. Some of the paintwork looks lighter on some parts of the tractor than others (particularly the nosecone.) I would like to respray it. My question is. What blue colour is correct???. The Empire or imperial blue. Or was there such a thing as "New Performance" blue? He's clearly had a new front cowling by the owner previous to the owner I bought him from. So he didn't know much himself. He has a "standard" nosecone badge and bonnet stickers. I assume this was correct for what he was. I'm really keen to get him looking so in keeping to what he was. Thanks all.
1964 Dexta Colour
Re: 1964 Dexta Colour
The colours were NP blue and NP grey, and they're quite different from both the earlier and later colours. I suggest you match some paint to get a good finish, but make sure your Dexta is nice and clean first. The badge is the simple wheatsheaf in NP grey.
