Hi I am going to paint in the near future an Allis Chalmers C. I was wondering if TSC paint is good quality and will not fade into a different shade? Thanks for any help.

Aaron

I used paint from tractor supply (BPS brand) with their hardener, and i really like it so far.....one thing I found out that really helps with any orange color paint, is to use white primer, if you use any primer....by the way, Rustoleum brand fades very fast to almost a weird pink

paint quality is directly porportional to its cost. The cheapest enamel paints are found at hardware store and farm stores. next there are medium quality automotive paints, normally acrylic enamels, that might cost $60 gallon instead of $25. The best quality paints are automotive paints such as PPG , Dupont, that are gasoline resistant, fade resistant and hold a good shine for years. Compare the paint on a truck that was built in the last 10 years to the paint on the kids swing set in the back yard. Get the idea. PPG Omni or Delstar might cost $150 for a gallon, but holds a good shine for a long time. With primer and reducer it cost about $200-225 to paint your own tractor. From there you can use epoxy or Concept type paints, but thats a little $$ for a tractor. IN the end, you get what you pay for. A good quality automotive paint should have paint, reducer, and a little hardener added. The hardener makes it setup in a hour and become "dry" overnight, where normall enamel will take a couple months to evaporate all the solvenst out.
