Default Majic IH White paint

Purchased paint for my 149 restoration. My local paint shop can’t seem to make a good white in urethane paint using the paint chart. Always seems to bright. So I purchased the Majic White in the quart to spray. Question is if I can clear that with a good quality urethane clear? I seem to remember someone having success doing this.

I can't help you with the Majic but I had the same issue with using the PPG paint code 91607 (935 white). They said it was not a good number so we crossed the Dupont code but that didn't match either. I dropped off a NOS 935 white mule drive and he spent a lot of time mixing and it matched well. I'm not sure what you are spraying so if it is 901 or 902 this won't help.
Here is the PPG recipe for 935 white.

Thank you! Yes I am spraying 935 White. I’m glad you responded with this mixture. The Majic paint just scares me with what I have read here on the forum. Several people have commented that it just doesn’t dry quickly, if at all. Spraying urethane clear over it might wrinkle it

Most clears use a catylist or hardener, and one of many types of thinners. All of those things are not meant to be used over a non hardener/thinner based paint. Now, that said. I have use oil based paint and added my own hardeners. Then successfully sprayed clear over it.

Your best option other than using base coat/clear coat would be to use a single stage paint with clear in it. If you have never sprayed base/clear then I would suggest the single stage paint. PPG paint retailers dont always get the color right when using another manufacturers code. Find a Nason paint dealer. The coding is more generic and and I have had good results with that product

If you spray several "4 minimum" light coats of single stage you CAN wheel it out after a couple weeks of cure time. Done correctly will give a brilliant finish very close results to multi stage finishes,

Edit.. One last thing on single stages. There are several techniques to getting a good finish out of this product. Wet over Wet, Flash times, what speed reducer to use in what climate, etc. If your unsure ask and there are several paint guys here that can assist you some.

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.
