I have a question that I couldn't find a place for. This is about as close as I could find and I'm hoping maybe get help here or be pointed in the right direction.
I'm restoring a 1966 IH Scout 800 that was sold to the US Navy and I'm trying to find the original color of paint, which on the line set ticket is listed as: 811 grey. The inside still has the original paint, and is much more blue than I expected. Any ideas or maybe where I should be posting?
Thanks.

Re: Not Sure Where Else to Post This: USN Scout 800 Color
There are several answers here and there is not enough information yet to say which is correct.
First, Silver Gray 884 was the only gray listed in that year...even range of years. Look that up.
Second is the Navy may have ordered the Scout with a standard Navy color.
Last, they could have repainted whatever color it came in.
We need more information!
A photo of that ticket may help? Sure it doesn't say gray?
