I haven't priced BASF and Martin Seynor yet either. I usually let the paint vendor "educate me" and then come on here for the second opinion. I know this sounds like a tall order but what I'm looking for is the best pigment load/quality for the buck. My tractor will be used for work and show. Ideally I'd like to avoid ISOs as well.

Cheapest decent AE is either DuPont Nason, PPG Omni or Shopline, or the cheaper version of Martin Senour. Best would be DuPont Centari if it is still available with no hardener, or PPG Value Pro (I have not used it). It appears to me that the best versions of AE without hardener are getting hard to find. Apparently Van Sickle has a version of acrylic enamel, I cannot speak for the quality or lack of it. There are also versions of acrylic modified alkyd enamels, used without hardener which have some UV protection. Hardener has the advantage of faster curing and better flow out, it can be repaired the next day. Without hardener you have to get it right the first time or wait a long time to correct it. There is no BASF dealer here, I have always considered that one as a high dollar paint, don't know if they have cheaper lines. This post was edited by CNKS at 17:49:48 02/10/13.   [Reply]  [No Email]
