A few years back "Wild Bill" gave tractor safety lessons to the kids, guess if we were a graduate of his class it would be OK. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D_Mac 8,377 #6279 Posted August 28, 2020 @AMC RULES Curious to know what kind of paint you are using. In the past I have always used Rust-oleum and been satisfied with the results. This time I tried Majic Paint from Tractor Supply and hate it. Anyone else tried that paint? Takes forever to dry and I got a lot of " orange peel" look to it. Guess I will go back to the Rust-oleum unless I find something better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Tractor Supply here has Rus-oleum Tractor Paint in all the Flavors. I haven't bough any IH Red. but did buy some Ford BlueTo paint a disk and plow. I wire brushed it then put on a coat of Agriguard to cover the rust and then painted with the Ford Blue covered good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only thing is it takes several weeks to cure. (Not dry. Cure. ) Good metal prep, good primer (use Rust-Oleum), the 2x spray paint and good weather it will work fine, as Eric says it needs to cure, I have done several tractors with 2x and have no issues with scratches or chipping. It's not high grade auto paint, but it's good enough for what I do 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 63,971 #6286 Posted August 28, 2020 @AMC RULES Craig is there any particular reason you choose Eastwood clear instead of using the Rust-Oleum? Just curious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,963 #6287 Posted August 28, 2020 Dries pretty much bullet proof. Lay down my clear immediately after the color goes on. As in, set down one can, pick up another. The Eastwood Diamond Clear easily cuts my painting cure time in half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not a fan Rust-Oleum clear, for small parts yes, for large parts no, I have had it leave dry marks on larger parts, anymore I just spray the clear on the foot pedals 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 36,963 #6292 Posted August 28, 2020 Back in the day, the product was originally offered in two versions, one for painted, one for bare metal parts. Seeing now they have combined the two into one product. So yeah my dear Madge, see no reason why not to. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With my 701 and a my Sears s12, I scuffed and waxed it with Johnson's paste wax, then every no and then I wipe it wipe it down with drain oil on hot day in the sun and let it cool, this method kinda of controls the finish rather than "sealing" it with clear coat 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
