Custom colors for TO-35

rz5rqt · Jan 21, 2023

I have a 1956 TO-35 (169299) that I believe was painted blue from the factory. I have partially sanded six spots and can find no other color. Under the dash is blue. Under the gas tank is blue. If this was not done from the factory, someone blasted, primed and painted it blue a long time ago. There is a lot of blue gone with just the primer showing. Has anyone heard of Ferguson doing custom colors for special orders or large orders? Thanks.

Never heard of a blue. Should be green and gray. Maybe
it was a city or state owned and they had it painted their
colors.

It's well documented that some manufactures would do custom colors from the factory, like for the military or other government entities, but I've never heard of that for Ferguson. If I could confirm it could have been done at the factory, I would repaint it blue as close as I could get. If it left the factory in standard colors and painted later, I would use factory colors. This could be a hard question to figure out since it may have been repainted almost immediately after initial delivery. I'm getting close to finishing a restoration. Paint will be the last step. Just trying to figure out the color it was when it was delivered to the first owner.
