I have painted many tractors and have used Dupont, TSC and OEM paint, But it was a while ago, I want to put a clear coat on this M. Is there any tractor paint that has a clear coat available? Thanks for any responses.
 
I didnt want to pay $500 a gallon and heard that some use a tractor paint and a clear over it. Thanks for the response
 
Maybe consider a urethane with no clear ? I painted my dad's excavator last summer and used Sherwin Williams urethane primer and urethane paint. Turned out real nice and shiny and is very durable. Might cost a little more in my opinion it is a good quality product. We used the industrial grade urethane, as they also have a more expensive automotive grade.
 
I really like using urethane, mix in about 50% clear on final coat and apply.

I would use 3 coats spaced 20-30 minutes apart.
 
A few years ago I was talking to a guy at the local threshing show that paints a lot of old tractors for whats left of the local collectors. He said he uses the IH 2150 dealer paint with a can of hardener per gallon and then clear coats the sheet metal, don't remember what kind he uses. He's got Cases himself and they look perfect. IH 2150 and hardener put a pretty good shine on my Super M.

Manufacturers make different levels of paint. I use a lower end Urethane automotive. Around $350 for base, clear, hardener, and reducer.

TSC sells Majic brand paint and there is a clear for it also.

It's labeled "High Gloss Laquer" but is actually an oil based enamel like the paint.

It is recommended but the manufacturer to NOT use hardener in the clear.

Hope this helps.
