Case/IH paint hardener.
I've had several people comment on the shine of the 100 I just finished up and have had a few ask which paint I was using. The paint is Case/IH irongard but instead of using there hardener I use Shopline jh6002 high gloss enamel hardener and I mix it 6 parts paint to 1 part hardener with a half part of reducer. Mixing 6 to 1 means that more hardener is used so the paint dries much faster and the Shopline hardener produces a higher shine than the regular hardener. One of the complaints I often hear about the Case/IH paint is how slow it dries but mixing it 6 to 1 the paint was rock hard the next day and I was able to begin assembly. Hope this helps.

Thanks for sharing Tim. It's little tricks like this that turn a good restoration into a great one.

Thanks for the tip, I've got some Case backhoe wheels to paint if the Irongard Power Yellow I ordered ever comes in. I picked up some of the Shopline hardener but I was wondering what type of reducer you use? And what kind of recoat times does it give you? Thanks

Flash time between coats is dependent on a few factors like air-flow and temp, when painting with single stage i always recommend you wait until the paint is hand slick before putting on another coat, this will keep you from getting run's and will also prevent die-back which is when the paint lose's it's shine once dry. |

Finally got to paint. Ended up with a full part of mid-temp reducer. I like it! Covered real well for a yellow and laid down great. 3 coats and only 1 small run on the backside. Just got done a hour or so ago so we'll see how it dries. The garage is about 70 but the furnace is running a lot to keep it there. That's ok cause it'll be at least next weekend before I mount the tire. I know I'm gonna use this on the next cub I do. Before and after pics with one of my 100's in the background.
