Spray Can Paint Options

[WishIhada168]

What are my spray can paint options that can be picked up at Napa, Advance Auto, Lowes, Home Depot, Tractor Supply, or Agco? Part numbers would be great! I also need to check my SN against the chart to verify which white but it's going on a 108 if that helps. Really not wanting to spend $14+ a can if I can get the same or better results elsewhere.....

Thanks!

TSC option is school bus yellow and Rustoleum almond for that series. Other yellow options elsewhere are labeled safety yellow. They also have IH white which is close but the Rustoleum seems to do better. If you go to an hvlp set up you will never want to do cans again but that's my .02

get a cheap hvlp and buy a quart of IH white and federal yellow in CNH irongard..just keep it clean and experiment with pressure, flow, paint viscosity,etc...youll be glad you did...and it'll be cheaper in the long run...

just my 2 cents also

Is the school bus yellow also a Rustoleum product?

I agree that the results would be better with a full on setup but 1, I don't have the compressor necessary to run a gun and 2, I know next to nothing about thinning and hardening.

No, the school bus yellow I was taking about at TSC is majic brand. There's safety yellow at advance auto I think

Ok so Majic school bus yellow from TSC and Almond Rustoleum from wherever? Both enamels and both period/color correct?

You might do some research on Majic brand; read some reviews. I've read some posts from very disappointed people about it not curing well. I'd never use it. Stick to paint from a Case-IH dealer or reputable company like Rustoleum or Valspar. I can also vow for Rust-Stop paint from Ace Westlake hardware stores--good stuff--that's where the Almond Gloss comes from.

where in pa are you located?

I really don't care for the Majic spray bombs, it seems like there is very little pigment in it, it comes out of the can like water and it takes FOREVER and a day to dry. Sorry Mike.

I do like the Valspar spray paint though, but I don't know if anyone local carries it since TSC went to the Majic.

Still better, would be to buy a cheap gun, you don't need much of a compressor to paint a garden tractor. With so many little parts, you're stopped more than you're actually painting. Mixing paint isn't that big of a deal either. The guy at your local automotive paint store will be able to fix you up with what you need and tell you how. If all else fails... read the label.

Chances are it will still come out better than a rattle can job.

Duplicolor School Bus Yellow is a near dead on match for Federal Yellow
I get it at Car Quest. About $5/can or so.
Great for small parts as you get 'em ready to install a few at a time.
Rustoleum Canvas White is another good match for the white on early cubs.
