I have seen some shed kept JDs with Restoration Series and they look top notch. They also had PERFECT prep work done before hand. I brushed (tried to spray, but it was junk) my manure spreader with Valspar cheap paint. It looks good enough for a manure spreader. :lol: I did the paint work just to keep the metal from rusting as fast and as a Valspar overhaul. I am going to post some pictures of it when done. I should have finished the project this weekend, but I guess there are two different sizes of 67(?) apron chain. There is a 67 and 67XH that is thicker, but the same size links. All I can find hanging on the local farmers shop walls is the XH and I need the plain old 67.   [Reply]  [No Email]

How about the Valspar Restoration Series? I have also seen people say Valspar makes the 2150...wouldn't that likely be the same paint as the Restoration Series?   [Reply]  [No Email]

The local TSC does not sell the restoration series. If it is the same as 2150, the can should say "acrylic modified alkyd enamel". However, I am not sure that 2150 is still acrylic modified. The cans used to say that, but the quart can I have does not, it simply says "enamel". I use it only for touch up for nicks or to touch up bolts and nuts, etc that were damaged during installation. I have never used 2150 in a spray gun. JD cans, which also uses Valspar, far as I know, also say enamel. Personally, I am not going to buy anything from a farm store unless I know exactly what it is. Sorry I can't answer your question. As stated Valspar does have quality paint, I can't say if the restoration series fits that, I have a feeling that it doesn't and will stick with PPG.   [Reply]  [No Email]

White--IH 901/PPG 8665/don't know DuPont. TSC is lousy paint. Use acrylic enamel as a minimum quality, urethane is better.   [Reply]  [No Email]
