Does anybody have any experience with the fast drying classic green paint. Can you use a hardener with it, I know you have to use a special thinner. Thanks

Dan:

I started using the fast-drying classic green and was not happy with it. In addition, a gentleman who is an auto body repair guy and a restorer of JDs advised me to go to the alkyd enamel classic green. He feels it is easier to work with and does not dull as quickly.

I changed to the original formula alkyd enamel (available in quarts only #TY6564) and have been pleased with it. However, the paint chips easily so you have to be careful.

I just got some classic green in a spray can from a JD dealer to do the small parts on my "L". I haven't used it yet and would like to know if you get a good gloss from it or not. It's easier than setting up the compressor to do a couple two minute jobs. How will it look?

I had the hood of mine painted at a body shop. I have been doing the rest of it, a piece at a time, with the small spray cans from the JD dealer. Can't see any difference looking at it directly, but noticed a very slight difference on photos of it. Maybe film reacts differently than the eye direct?

I did a repair on a B that had been painted with classic green. When I touched up the paint I found that regular ag green matched better. The touch ups were done with rattle cans. PS make all your mechanical repairs before you paint.

Well, my "L" is just a skeleton of it's former self and being degunked. I'll give the spray cans a shot and hope for the best. If they work good, I won't even bother with the compressor!

I painted each part of my "B" individually with JD Classic Green (TY6564)original formula alkyd enamel. Then I painted the nuts, bolts, washers, and small parts with Classic Green in spray cans. It matches very well and seems to be pretty durable.

I don't know what else was used with the classic green on that B that may have altered the shade.
