external_link paint

[DD in WA]

I'm going to paint a 52 8N working tractor and was wondering about the quality of the paint sold by external_link. I've read they have the "correct" colors but haven't read about the quality. Also, what about the hardener in terms of toxicity. I don't have an air supplied respirator and would like to survive this ordeal fairly intact. Would I be better off going with some PPG Omni from the local auto paint store??

Thanks

Check the price for shipping the paint. Maybe your local PPG store will be less expensive.

I generally use Sherwin Williams Industrial coatings available locally.

Recently, though, I found Tractor Supply Stores have a pretty decent paint "VALSPAR". $8.00 a quart. Hardener is $10.00 a pint.

Have had great results with the latter.

do you remember what the mixing ratio is for the hardener to paint? Thanks in advance,Jay2NSC

I believe it is 4:1:1 - 4 paint , 1 hardner ,and 1 reducier. NAPA or almost all auto stores have "mixing cups" that have the ratio / lines on the cup. They will have several ratios etc 4,1,1 - 5,1,1- 4,2,1 with out looking couldnot tell you.

These make it easier.
I used TISCO paint on my 9-N same that external_link sells , got hardner at NAPA. worked fine. I used "Van Sickle" paint on my jubilee hood. Ok by me , used same hardner on both.
