Silver paint for rims

[MILLARD HAYES]

Getting ready to paint the rims and would like to know what silver is best. I was thinking CaseIH would have the correct match but I'd like to know what others have used.

definitly CASE IH has the match. i just did my w4 rims. i have also used bright coat galvanize on my 560 and it is good too.

I like the looks of that galvanized paint. Think I'll have to get some so the rims on the 806 can get spruced up.

You did a good job with a shaker can.

well its pretty basic painting. give it the dust coat first then go to it, get it on till it wants to run then stop. that is how you get the shine. painted lots of stuff from a can.

Rustoleum bright galvanizing compound works great too-

then you can get up in the morning and clear coat them. if you using a sprayer you can add hardener to the paint and that will give it a good shine.

Just whatever you do, do NOT use Rustoleum Aluminum paint. You'd think after all this time they would figure out how to get it to stay mixed, cover well, and be a consistent color.

I've done 5 sets of rims using Rust
oleum.......gotta shake and stir it
frequently, but it looks good and covers
nice. Brushed on with zero brush marks.

That's the thing... Normal paint does not need to be shaken and stirred frequently.

I like Silver Rustoleum paint. An old painter told me it has a lot of fish oil in it and while it seems to be hard
to mix it covers well and prevent rust. Just because it seem to separate doesn't mean it does not cover well.
Repaired rims that had calcium cloride in them need all the protection they can get. I may be all wrong on this but
that what I think.
On a side note I put high quality silver automotive paint on a set of back rims and they are showing rust coming
back even though they were sand blasted and looked great when it was done. Best for a show tractor!!!Cleddy

That is a sharp cub. My dad has one of those too. Just needs to be restored.

Where did you buy the bright coat galvanize?
