How much paint will I need? Do I need a gallon (red) paint to redo my 8N or can I get by with 2-3 quarts? Where I am from, buying a gallon really isn't much cheaper than buying quarts. Its $44 a gallon.

I have been repainting my 8N with the paint you can buy at Tractor Supply Co. It's called BPS and comes in a number of colors for all makes of tractors. This stuff really flows out well. It's a working tractor so I have been using a good brush. So far I have used 1 quart plus about 5 spray cans of red and am almost done. I think I will use about the same on the gray. I know some out there will grone when they see the word "brush" but like I said this paint really flows well. Even on the smooth metal pats (dash, wheels, hood) there are no brush marks. I'm not looking to win a show, just look better than all the others in the area. There are a lot of rusty 8N's in this area. When it's all said and done a gallon of eash color will do. And the price pre gallon is under $20.00. Thats a lot better than $44.00.

44.00/gal seems to be the going rate...

Personally, I would purchase the gallon. With two to three coats, it will consume at least1/2- 2/3 of it, and then, it's nice to have any extra for touch-up's over the years. And, it's best have more than not enough when you're in the middle of a paint job.

9n'er has the right approach, just one thing to add. When you buy your paint, pick up an empty new can and fill it with the paint you have left over. The paint will keep for years if it's in a full can and not laying in the bottom of a gallon container.
