I was looking throught a valu-Bilt tractor parts book and seen that they list praire gold paint. I was wondering if anybody has used this paint and how close it matches? Or is there a better place to get praire gold paint.

I work at a NAPA store and used the urethane paint and it turned out very very well. the valu-bilt paint does fade if left out side for very long. I mixed the Prairie gold myself and it is a perfect match i would have to say. i was going to buy the valu-bilt paint but they didn't have any in gallons so i waited for a week and a half and when the stock truck came in they didn't have a single gallon on it after they said that it would. I would recommend the NAPA paint.

Nathan,

I am wondering if you will send me the NAPA mixing code. I have a store in my town and am planning to buy a gallon of their Urethane.

Check out the Sticky on paint info in the forum at Minneapolis-Moline.com, there is a lot of useful info that took quite a bit of time to put together. RW

cameronz77, they do offer a synthetic paint which is their lowest grade of paint but still good for a working tractor. Try to use hardner in it if you can. Next best is acrylic enamel, then the urethanes, and the best show finish would be the base coat/ clear coat system.

hope this helps, NOHOG

Is the paint from tractor color synthetic? Just bought some pg 3 and metalic bronze for my gvi and fixin to paint in couple weeks. will it hold up you think? It is made by Valspar which I heard was supposed to be a good quality paint.

Valspar (also owned Minnesota Paints) which c0ompany manufactured paint for MM when they were in business--the main office is still in Mpls.

I just painted my GVI with acrylic enamel from www.tractorcolor.com and was very pleased with it. I did use NAPA thinners in it also. I ordered it online and was very pleased with the service. They offer all tractor colors in enamels, urethanes, and base coat/clearcoat.

I was very happy with the way this paint covered and flowed out.

I don't recommend the Valu-Bilt paint or paint sold my TSC. It's Ok if you don't mind fading and if you're going to paint with a brush but beyond that, it's not good. I bought a gallon a couple of years ago and still have three quarts left, I just couldn't use it.

I agree.

We use Napa crossfire paint on just about everything we paint. We painted a couple of trailers with some leftover paint. They sit outside and hold up well in the Texas sun.
Not the cheapest, but worth the money.

Don't buy it! synthetic enamel it will not hold up a year. They use to have a decent paint that would alst a few years but what they have now is not, its between the Prarie gold #2 and #3 in shade, its not even the right color. If its a work tractor you maybe happy with it but if your spending alot of time on it and want it to last go to Napa and buy the Crossfire they have a tractor color chart PG#1 is at the top(36-38 year tractors) and PG#2 is the next on the card the correct wheel color is availabe also. They have it in enamel and urethane. Its not cheap but it really holds up.
