Well I'm in the process of restoring an 1960 Oliver 770. This is the fourth Oliver I have restored and in the past I have used DuPont Centari acrylic enamel with hardener. I've had pretty good results but the paint is about $150 per gallon. I'm considering using Agco paint and was wondering if anyone had any comments on Agco paints - quality, fading, price, and any other info or suggestions on what brand and type to use (Im open to any and all advice). Also I have access to Van Sickle brand paint - is that any good? Thanks for any and all advice!

I priced the Crossfire and its $104 a gallon. I called an Agco dealer and they wanted $60 a gallon. Im thinking about trying the Agco Oliver Meadow Green, unless people think that is not wise. Also, is the Agco paint an acrylic enamel or what?

You can buy PPG's Omni Single Stage polyurethane
for about $100.00 a gallon. You could price Martin Senour's Cross Fire paint. Give them your Dupont Centari paint code and they can cross-reference it. Here are some PPG's paint codes for Oliver tractors. Hal

Clover White--8229
Clover White--8805
Oliver Green--45132
Oliver Green--40249

After using Centari, you may be a bit disappointed with anything less, especially if they are show tractors.

However, we have had good luck with the Agco paint we have used on the tractors on the farm. Applies and covers well, (we use Valspar hardener from TSC with it) and the durability is as good as any synthetic enamel we have used.
