Painting a 1066 with IH 2150 rouge red - I NEED HE

Posted by NB06IH1066 on April 03, 2006 at 21:17:23 from (207.200.116.5):

I am paiting an IH 1066 for my father. I have painted a 966 and an allis chalmers wd. The WD was for a friend and we used BPS paint with hardener. It turned out very well for the amount of money we spent on it. My father has already purchased Case IH 2150 paint and primer. I know that automotive paint will give me a better finish but i dont have the funds to do so. I want all of you experts to let me know how i can get the best paint job possible out of my IH 2150 rouge red.
In the past I have primed the pieces, wet sanded sheet metal with 300 grit paper, then applied my rouge red 2150 reduced with thinner at a 3:1 ratio.
My questions are:

What is the best ratio of reducer to paint, to use with the 2150?

Can anything be added to enhance gloss or finish (ie, hardener), if so, what do you suggest. Basically I would love any and all advice on this topic! Advice can be posted here or sent to my email [email protected]

Thank you!
