My BIL recently toured the Waterloo John Deere assembly plant where they were assembling the "R" series tractors.
He said that they were painted with paint that cost a thousand dollars a gallon and clear-coated. I doubted that so commented, "that must be automotive quality paint" to which he replied, "it's better than that and then clear-coated".
Does anyone here know for a fact what the factory uses to paint their tractors? Is it any different than what is offered at the local dealership off the shelf?
