What do you think of the new 'Magic' paint at Tractor Supply Co.?

I know its not automobile grade, but has any one had good/bad results?

Thanks!
 
It's alkyd enamel. Therefore you can expect what alkyd enamel usually does, that is fade and change color, particularly outside. Probably some difference in manufacturers, but it is still the lowest grade of paint sold.
 
A lot depends on the color you paint with using an alkyd. If the color has red in it it will fade fast regardless of brand. I painted a trailer with a Sherwin Williams alkyd in 2009 and except for damage places looks just as good as the day I painted it but it was a light gray. I also repainted a hood on a kubota tractor about the same time with valspar alkyd enamel and the paint is still there but it is chalky and badly faded. I've never used the Majic brand paint but everything I read says it's about the same stuff as the valspar brand. Sherwin Williams makes an enamel called Sher-Kem that is suppose to be a midrange paint between an alkyd and automotive paint. To get the full advantage though it needs the hardener which you really need a air supplied respirator to spray. It contains isocyanites.
 
Painted a friends M F 4 yrs ago , it sets outside all the time. He wanted a " low " priced paint,I said he would not be happy in a few yrs. I saw it last fall & it is a nasty shade of pink! I used hardner too. He knows now that he was very wrong about low cost paint. He does not talk about the paint cost now! Brand of paint: Majic paint & hardner!
 
I ran over my folks tiller with my tractor..Long story... any way I had to replace the handle part and sandblasted and repainted with TSC paint in a spray can version. I was impressed when It dried. Flowed together nicely and was reallly glossy. BUT that was just in the fall so...dont know what it will look like in time..
