    This is my new rotovator i have inherited from a family member.
    Machine runs really well. General plans are to fully restore it back to its former glory and hopefully exhibit it at a few show.

    Cant offer any advice as to what shade of red, but I do know red can be one of the worst colours for fading.

    I no I’ve had colourcharts against the red that’s left and none seem to match. It’s kinda gone a faded pink colour, I did think that massey furgie red would be near enough. It’s a hard decision

    you could try a bit of Brasso or T cut to see if red will come back.
