Anyone ever painted a Stude with tractor paint?

Most of this stuff seems to be made by Majic paint.

each plus a gallon of thinner was $40.... turned out GREAT, is pretty
tough, has been on for about 6 months and has sat outside almost the
entire time. I have not noticed any chalking or dulling yet. The
only downside to it was that it is slow drying

Jeff,
No knowledge whatsoever! But, it does warrant further investigation. I
wonder how it would look being sprayed using a Wagner Power Sprayer?

to paint several outdoor items at Wallys Service station. The dark green
on the kerosene pump has held up well. The white on the gas pumps is
very chalky, the orange on the windshield wash unit and hydrant is badly
faded.
This was fresh about 8 years ago and the change happened fairly quickly.
But- looking old and faded was the desired effect.

end" paint systems that can be sprayed by low cost spray gun that would
probably hold up better than tractor paint. Even low in auto paint is more
engineered for longer fade resistance and overall better weathering.

blending or a customer doesnt come back for it.Have to be flexible
though,it's not for those seeking original colors. Another time I made a
interesting color from left over paints(plural) that a body shop wanted to
dispose of.

understand the engineered differences. Your approach is a good one
especially if you have a good relationship with the wholesaler because
"oops" paint if not used by someone becomes more material in the hazardous
waste drum, so they in a lose lose situation, they lost the material cost
and now they have to pay to get rid of it. For the reducers or hardners
you can always purchase "knock-off" reducer hardners and save yourself a
few bucks. The wholesale may also have those knock-offs.

A cheap paint job is done using a toque on a stick. Expensive ones we use a brush.
I actually painted a car once using a bug spray attachment for a vacuum cleaner. Made the
mistake of using an old vacuum hose, and the car came out looking like it had been
flocked. Had I used a new hose, it would not have been half bad.

came with the attachment to spray paint using the exhaust outlet on the
vacuum!

about 12 tears old. Looked good from 20 feet or so. He used plan enamel auto
paint. He painted it outside early one morning as soon as the dew was gone.
We couldn't use the car until the next day it took it so long to dry.

I remember my dad painting the '35 Plymouth he wanted to sell. He did it
with a soft brush and it looked fine. Later, when I was in high school a
friend had a '48 Plymouth he wanted to paint. He bought the paint, rented
the compressor and gun and the power went off. So, he finished it (the
biggest part) with a brush.
My cheapest paint job was in 1963. I had a '54 Willys Aero Ace two-door.
It had some minor rust and the paint was faded. A man who worked for me
told me to do all the prep work, take off the bumpers and take it to Earl
Scheib when they had a weekend deal. I did and got a good paint job for
$19.95- had to settle for a single color that was close to original vice the
original two-tone, but so what...
