About '36 and back they were grey but some got IH red in '35/36
but approximately, it is a good reference.

I've used that (JD green) it fades unless you use hardener.
Even genuine IH iron guard does without hardener.

Ironman, that is one very good looking little tractor!!. I may get in trouble here, but yellow is my least favorite color and white is next. If I was was doing a total resto, I'd pick your color scheme over the Cub original, for sure.

Can you say a bit more about the acetone and hardener in the paint?

[ironman]

The products I used are pictured.
I did two coats,
5 parts paint, 2 parts reducer, 1 part hardener.
I used acetone for reducer because Rustoleum dries slower than you hair grows, acetone speeds it up.
Doing it again, I would probably add another part reducedr to the second coat to get better flow out.

Thanks for the great information. (This should be stickied, as it's buried in a deck discussion but is great info).

I have a 35 gallon compressor and some HF spray guns. One of these days I need to try using them as I've never sprayed anything but with Rattle Cans.

You do really nice work IM and thanks for the info.

Fill that china fright gun with wadder and spray the outside wall of the garage. then progress to a large piece of cardboard observing various spray patterns and air adjustments so you get a feel for the gun's characteristics and how they are modified with the adjustments.
Do understand paint is a lot thicker than wadder so adjustments will be different using paint/primers.
But you will get a feel for the gun and how the adjustments affect spray patterns.
Then shoot some primer on things that are going to be sanded, getting more experience.
It is called a larnin' curve as we all know, and it causes you to get better spraying paint without a lot of runs or orange peel.
one day you will notice you can do a pretty good job without a lot of misstakes
Do watch video's of techniques on Yall' tube!!

Great info Ironman! I, and I'm sure many others, would be very grateful if you were to do a thread on your procedure. Your results are very impressive!.

Did you prime the metal first?

You're right about the Rustoleum. I used it for the loader build and it was aggravating to pick up a painted piece two days later and get paint on my hands.

I used POR 15 on the bucket, the disc frame and the sleeve hitch, so we'll see how that stands up.

Thanks for the compliment and apologies to jbrewer for hijacking his thread.
I have used and like POR 15, but mostly I go with KBS Rust Seal for no particular reason.
I did my 149 frame a few years back with KBS Rust Seal. It was winter time so I brushed it on and it came out like glass.

Primer yes, I like to strip everything to bare metal so I prefer a self etching primer.
I saw this stuff at Rural King and thought I'd give it a try on a project that I am working on now.
It's very reasonably priced and I was pleased with the results.

Ok, now you're making want to find a tractor, redo and keep it as a "Pretty Boy" machine.

I'm going to check if Majic products are available here. Especially the primer.
