Van Sickle Paint

[ksanders]

Does anyone have a gallon or quart of "Gloss International White" Van Sickle paint around? Not Gloss International Off-White or JI Case Power White, just "Gloss International White". I went to Orcheln Farm and Home today and they'd ordered the wrong color. Upon further investigation, they said there is no such color according to Van Sickle (I checked the website too). I just ordered some early summer and used this color for 5 years and can't be crazy? Well I can be, but not in this instance
Of course I threw the old gallon away when it was gone, so I can't reference it.

I have some Van Sickle Gloss International White. Quart is 471 74. Gallon is 471 71. Aerosol can is 471 70. To me it appears to be an off white, but that may be me or what I am comparing it to. I am sure that the other whites I am comparing it to have faded, if it is possible for white to fade.

That's just what I needed to know. The 471 code is now "Gloss International Off-White" when ordering and doesn't show up on their site anymore. Guess it's discontinued or something.

Kevin,

Is this what you are looking for?

No, this was just International White, not International "OFF" White. It was never quite as brown or dark as the off white if I remember right. I do remember picking up a can of off-white once by accident and it not matching several years back. I gave up and will paint my deck and IH rear blade with this since they are both waiting on paint.

Not to add fuel to the fire, but I did some looking on Van Sickle's web site and found the following:

To me the Harvester Cream has a little more brown to it, but i realize that all colors shown are computer generated
and are only approximate representations of the actual paint colors.

It looks like if we use Van Sickle paint we have 3 choices for yellow and 2 choices for white. I guess it is time to paint some test panels and compare the colors!
