Bolens Paint color codes?

[dhiesel]

I did a few searches but did not find how to match my paint.
I do not have good material to try and match paint so I was wondering if any one has color codes?
I can spray, brush, and use rattle cans.
The colors I think I need for this Bolens 800 are:
Cordovan for most of body and frame,
Off White or Creme for hood and fenders and wheels,
Red for the hubs and seat,
Green for the mower deck.
I will use high temp rattle cans for the engine and it shows as being black.
Any help would be great!

The Yahoo Bolens Tractor Club has links for alot of Bolens sites that are very useful.

Twowheeler,
Many thanks, This is a great jump start.

[TwowheelerVA]

Nice looking reel mower, what is it?

[dhiesel]

IT is a moto-mower, with a continental engine.
Thanks
