1650 Resto - anyone heard of "Preval" for painting?
I've been looking into paint solutions for my restore. I am limited by resources and funds to a rattle can job. I recently came across a product (supposedly carried at Home Depot) that sprays like a can (has built in propellant), but allows you to mix paints prior to spaying - think of a rattle can you can charge with your own paint.
Here is a link: http://www.preval.com/what-is-preval Anyone heard or had experience with this product? My desire (if going to all the trouble to do a restoration) would be to have a durable paint job - since this will still be a working tractor. As I understand it, regular rattle can paint lacks a "hardener" that makes the paint resistant to chemical & UV damage - which makes rattle can paint jobs not desirable from a "long term" perspective. As I further understand things, you can use this Preval product to mix Cub Paint and the appropriate hardener and for limited applications (which I would think a garden tractor would qualify as...) you can get a reasonable approximation of a true, compressor based, professional paint application. I understand that when using "hardeners" that respiratory protection must be used - so it is not an "apples to apples" process - however, assuming that one takes the proper precautions - could a total newbie do a decent, durable paint job with this thing? How difficult is it to mix the proper amounts of paint/hardener to get a proper application? Is there anything I'm missing here? Thanks for any advice, -Calvin

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
