Wheel horse red farm line paint

[Tom. 70]

Hi,

I've just been scrolling through a well-known auction site and have seen some wheel horse red spray paint made by farm line. Has anyone tried this? If so what were the results like?

Hi,

They also sell it in tins in a size on 1 litre and I think 5 litre possibly.

Thanks Tom!!! I've just ended up trawling through Fleabay looking at Wheel Horse paints :D

 

I'm with Tom, has anyone tried this paint?  Shame about the price of it though, it does seem a bit on the expensive side!

Hi,

Yes I agree it does seem to be on the expensive side, I wonder how far one can would go?

I've actually just been in the garage and found some westwood orange farm line paint an farm line thinners I bought ages ago. From what I remember it sprayed quite well. It would be interesting to see how the spray can performs. I may buy a can to try it(has anyone got a wheel horse I can buy to try it on?!?!) but yes I may try a can if noone else has as of yet.

Using spray cans will inevitably always cost way more because the paint has already been thinned down to make it sprayable. I use an agricultural enamel but from 1 litre tins and thin it using universal thinners whether I'm applying by brush or spraying it. A 1 litre tin was enough to do all parts of a D-200 which was brush painted and cost me £15 inc postage.

 

I actually use International Harvester Red which brings me to something I noticed re the Farmline paint you linked to. It's mentioned on the 500ml and 1 litre tin pages that it's the 'Post 1990' colour which I would therefore take to be Toro Red rather than traditional WH red, the Toro red is a darker more cherry like red. There's no mention on the spray can description but I'd assume its the same. I suggest you check this out with the supplier.

I've used that farmline paint. I only tried brush painting and looks ok for what it is. I buy the paint for 16 EUR/litre.
