Bob,
Also in process of "rehab and preservation" effort on a 1942 9N/2N? As to the proper shade of dark gray paint I could not say. Click on the Registry forum in the menu bar at the top of page and look and these very great looking tractors. 1939 9n 9n516, 9N2624, 1940 9N 9N15015, 1941 9n 9N82001, 1945 2N 9N181520, 1946 2N 9N219472. (click on the blue names, on right of registry forum). Different shades and hues of gray paint and methods of applying. If you can find any original paint on your 2N, you could take a sample to a paint place and try and match the paint and mix paint for you. I found several original? paint patches on mine, big patch on underside of hood after gas tank removed, under seat bolt head and air cleaner. Cleaned those patches, but guess what, they even have different shades. Must have been painted on different days and out of different barrels of gray at the Ford plant. I am going to use dark machine gray by Rustoluem, like the shade, but its only in spray cans, but the good folks at Home Depot assure me they can mix a gallion to match, we'll see. Just8N's has paint and they are good folks to deal with. As usual I blabbed to long, hope this will help you. Now to the barn and the ever expanding mission creep on this great ole tractor. Good luck, Bob.
