Tractor Supply Implement paint

It was the regular series paint. The $25.00 a gallon stuff. It's been on the car in varied weather and still looks good. I've never waxed either. I suspect that it would look even better if I did.

For my circle track cars, I would go to Home Depot & pick out a spray can off the shelf that I liked, spray paint a smaple on metal, then tak it to them to mix up a gallon. That way when it got scraped (racing IS a contact sport) I could use the spray can to touch it up. Just an idea, that H-D paint is durable

 

Massey Ferguson Red on my buddy's '62. Cleared over the red. Held up pretty well for several years.

 

I've used that stuff on equipment here at work, looks ok at first then fades and cracks if left outside. Should be fine on a garaged vehicle.

I did this truck with Ace's store brand of rustoleum, mixed Harbor Blue and Aluminum to get this finish. Mixes good, sprays good, couldn't get it to run if you tried. Yes it is oil base, and no I do not know how it held up. I sold the truck shortly after paint.

 

T/S Black and then took a 1000 grit scotch pad to it to de-shine.

 

Ive used tractor enamel and only mixed the hardner in the last coat. worked for me. OldWolf

 

rustolium with ppg omni hardner mixed in on mine and applied it with a foam roller, its a 50 footer but that all i wanted out of it

 

These were both painted with the cheap TSC paint. The T-bucket is semi-gloss black. The VW is a mix of International Harvester white and gloss white, then flattened with talcum powder. I've got less than $50 in each paint job.

 

not a good practice. you never want to trap unhardened paint under hardened paint. especially when the unhardened is fresh. glad it worked for you.

 

Valspar is alkyd enamel too.
