pfrederi 17,580 #2 Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Lots of opinions on what to use. This thread covers about all of them. Edited February 9, 2020 by pfrederi 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 15,383 #3 Posted February 9, 2020 According to the thinking of many, every time a new paint vendor was selected by Wheel Horse, the color changed slightly due to many factors including proprietary tints, methods of mixing, amount of lead (not available in today's paints), and other factors. So as I have said many times, pick the color you like and that becomes Wheel Horse Red. The key word here is RED. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 8,638 #4 Posted February 9, 2020 Without going into further detail, I spoke directly with Cecil Pond about this and he said there is no official Wheel Horse red. Like Bob said pick a red you like and that is YOUR Wheel Horse red! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
