I painted a 1952 G with original JD paint and used Napa hardner with it and had a good gloss and was resistant to gas.I used 1 capful to each cup and worked fine.I parked my G next to a G that was painted with parts store paint,(IMRON)and the other tractor was not even close to the same color as mine.I am in the process of painting a 1956 70 JD and I am going to do the same thing again.Good luck Clint.

I have used both JD and Napa Acrylic enamel.If you are going to have it outside in the sun much I'd go with acrylic,more money but it lasts longer.JD paint is SYNTHETIC ENAMEL so you have to use a hardener for Synth enamel. I used an off brande like KIRKER in JD paint and it was about 1/3 the price of Napa.The mixing instructions are on the bottle.I used the "a little more is better option". Both tractors look good but they were stored inside. Paint is rated in quality starting at synth enamel then acrylic then the urethanes.

I'm not sure if you can add it to JD factory paint
but your local auto parts store can custom mix JD green in acrylic enamel and hardener can be added to that. Gas won't bother it and it will also stay shiney longer. Makes a much more durable paint job. Good luck

I use only JD paint for my restorations and any good hardner can be used with it.

I'm just curious what kind of hardener you consider "good", and what makes it good. I would also like to know how much you should use per quart, and if excess is harmfull. I've seen guys just dump some in bowl of the gun with no measurement at all and wondered if that was proper procedure.
I'm also curious what kind of luck you have had with JD paint over the course of time. This same guy I mentioned above won't even put it in his gun. I would sure like to if I could get good durable results.
Appreciate any info!

Dupont, Sherwin Williams,Martin Senour. I use MS and have had very good luck with it.A pint to the gallon of paint or an equal ratio.FOLLOW directions on the container. I like JD paint
because it ages like the original paints. A lot of the cheaper paints will turn to a dark green similar to Oliver or take on a blue like hue.Dupont and others make an acryalic paint that is really good but I prefer to use the JD enamel.Don't use the cheaper paints that can be purchased at your local stores that sell aftermarket parts and accesories. They may work on equipment that you want to keep from rusting but not on something you want to look right.The next time that you are at a large show look at and compare paint jobs and you can see the difference
