wheelwhores 107 #1 Posted February 5, 2020 What type and color do you guys like to use and where on the machine. After a thorough degreasing and cleaning this spring my new C175 will be getting some fresh coats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 72,461 #2 Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) In case you hadn't gathered from my other posts, Trina does all our painting. She has a HUGE leaning preference towards Rust-Oleum 2X. I don't know if there is a red in that brand that comes close to horse. The off-white we use is Navajo White. Gloss black is gloss black I guess...

bottjernat1 2,194 #3 Posted February 5, 2020 Here is a video that i just did on different international reds. I normally use rustoleum international red but decided to test some other paints out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 18,639 #4 Posted February 5, 2020 Paint is a touchy subject. Lots of info in this long thread. I am not a purist I paint for corrosion control. That said I stick with IH Farmall Red (available in several brands) you want semi-gloss black for your black hood. Wheels I use IH White or Rustoleum Canvas White. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

12Horse Paladin 1,038 #6 Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) I use and like rustoleum for red Sunrise Red Also use their self etching primer, and satin clear enamel for topcoat. For the 'white'...wheels etc...i like Fleet Farm's brand 'route 66' International Off White', as i do not care for the WHITE whites; its kind of a cream color...but NOT like their Almond (TOO 'yellow', to me)...

The Tuul Crib 7,339 #7 Posted February 5, 2020 I use rustoleum regal red on mine but that could be subject to change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 10,691 #8 Posted February 5, 2020 I’ve used Rustoleum Regal Red with hardener ont the tractor and Rustoleum appliance epoxy white or biscuit or almond on the wheels. I like the biscuit the best. I also use the appliance epoxy gloss black where needed. On the engine finned area and exhaust I’ve used the VHT high heat red, black, or silver.

Pullstart 66,661 #9 Posted February 5, 2020 I use Regal Red mainly, but wouldn’t mind venturing over to Sunrise Red either. It’s a bit brighter than Regal Red. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 41,820 #10 Posted February 5, 2020 I used Regal Red when I was still painting. Now I just rub-em down with cheap oil. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
