Mike has used it, I haven't, so if you can find the products he recommends, do that. If you want to be absolutely safe, use all Case-IH products. As for the orange tint, (Mike can correct me), it is supposed to be there, and it will turn to a darker red in a couple of weeks -- but it will always be there to an extent, not very noticeable in outside light -- it is also there with PPG 71310 the 2150 equivalent. I believe 2150 was used on the 1066--the color is more of a personal preference, but I believe the "correct" color does have some orange in it. I'm sorry about the confusion as to which hardener/thinner/reducer to use. It's too late now, and you don't want to spend the money, but that is only one reason why PPG/DuPont, etc acrylic urethanes are better than the old alkyd enamels, even the so-called acrylic modified alkyd enamel that 2150 is -- there are precise mixing instructions that you never need to deviate from. I painted the sheet metal on my 460 with PPG Omni 71310 acrylic urethane, other than a little dirt I can't seem to avoid, the finish is very high gloss with very little orange peel. And I do NOT consider myself an experienced painter, as I don't paint often enough to develop much skill.
