This guy I know told me to not waste my money on John Deere paint because that I could go to NAPA and that they can mix the classic green that I buy from John Deere a lot cheaper and that it just as good. What do you guys think thanks.
 

I don't agree at all. The paint at NAPA will be much better quality for probably no more money.
 
I tried to look up what kind of paint it was but they are keeping it a secret. The JD paint is probably an alkyd enamel which isn't that much different than enamel house paint. NAPA will carry automotive paints which should last two to three times as long as an alkyd. It won't be a cheap but when you consider how long it will last is a better deal.
 
The John Deere paint is a good enamel, especially with hardener, as I have used it.

My preference is NAPA paint, but it is several times more expensive.

The NAPA will probably be at least double per gallon but is worth every penny if you have the budget, which you should if you are doing a project in the first place.

It will also be more dangerous to work with, respiratorily speaking.
 
Thanks for all the info guys I'm going to use NAPA paint then the store in town here is only 5 miles away and the John Deere place is like over 60 miles away so heck iv save a little on fuel lol.
 
On the paint that your going to use you can look it up on the computer by typing in your paint numbers and type in MSDS. This will tell you what is in it.
 

I have been using 2K urethane out of the Nason line by Dupont. They give you close to automotive paint performance at half to a third of what many automotive paints go for. Far better bang for your buck than implement paint at the tractor dealer. If you are going to just clean up and spray, however, it makes no sense to spend extra money on good paint.

I'd hope it gives you automotive paint performance since it IS automotive paint...

Yakob do you think that anyone else had trouble understanding my post?

Which post?

Your first post in this thread said "I don't agree at all" and then you proceeded to imply some of the same points as the OP, thereby agreeing in some ways. It is not possible to be in total disagreement while still maintaining any original point made by the other party as true. The essence of the OP could be captured as "buy NAPA paint since it is better for negligible cost difference, if any" and you made the same point, yet somehow in disagreement.

Your second post (the one I poked fun at) said "They [Nason] give you close to automotive paint performance at half to a third of what many automotive paints go for." See, what you have done here is not only make a price comparison specifically to the pool of more expensive automotive paints, but you have also compared Nason's performance to he entire pool of automotive paints and have deemed said performance as less than that of the entire pool. Since the entire pool to Nason would include itself, the claim logically boils down to "it cannot perform as good as itself" which cannot be true.

There was no lack of understanding, only sarcasm that seems to be lost on some people.

Do you think the sarcasm in my original post or in this current one was misunderstood by anyone else?

That's not surprising.

Do you think other people's heads are spinning?
 
I don't know if anyone has mentioned it or not but Nason is some nasty stuff to spray. The fumes can put a major hurt on you even with a chemical respirator on. You need an air supplied respirator to safely work it. The respirator has a compressor on it which you place where the air is clean and it pumps clean air to the mask. The stuff will go right through a conventional respirator. I know this because I sprayed two gallons of it once outdoors with such a respirator and held my breath when I was downwind from the paint. After I was done I coughed for six months.

I agree with this fully. Unless you can keep your air spray booth clean, and use the proper cartridges in the proper manner, you need supplied air.
 
Many different stories here on respirators and supplied air.

The main issue is the iso cynanates in the hardener, no way I would do it without supplies air, ended up in ER when I tried not too.
 
(quoted from post at 08:18:16 06/12/19) How is this NAPA paint for painting can u use a charcoal filter to pray it.

Generally speaking, your paint options become more dangerous as the durability goes up. Safest would be something like rustoleum, then your implement paints, then add hardener to those, then move up into acrylic enamels, then urethanes, then polyurethanes like Imron, etc...

The NAPA paint will either be acrylic enamel or urethane, depending on what you get. It will have a lot of hardener in it either way and these paints are nothing to laugh at for safety.

If you have to spray with a filter mask, use the proper silicone 3M mask with the correct cartridges. Replace the cartridges often. Shave your beard and facial hair to be smooth as silk for a good seal. Do smaller batches, lower your PSI where possible to prevent fogging up the work area, and keep fresh air coming in. All the while, keep in mind that the iso's are damaging to your EYES as well. I have horrible dry eye problems now and it is not fun.

The cartridges you need to replace very regularly (like every 8 hours once the seal is broken) -- to the point that you are better off just ponying up for supplied air and not having to worry about all this other crap in my opinion.

1 trip to the ER will cost you no less than 2 full fresh air setups depending on your health insurance. A couple normal visits will likely add up to about as much as one setup as well. Pay now or pay later.
 
It comes down to durability and the isocyanate hardeners do that. Acrylic enamels will have a milder isocyanate hardener which is safer to use. It's more similar to the hardener tractor supply sells to add to common enamel paint. Unless you made a career of spraying it I wouldn't worry about it with reasonable ventilation. If you want to go completely isocyanate free Duplicolor sells lacquer automotive paints. They have all but quit making lacquer automotive paint because it isn't as durable as urethanes but I painted my first car with lacquer and it lasted for ten years before I sold the car. I think it's still a much better paint than the alkyd enamels tractor supply sells.

Not true. A lot of acrylic enamel lines use the exact same hardener as the urethane line, albeit a smaller dosage (8:1 as opposed to 4:1).
