happy Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 I have a 3212v and Johnson loader that I just stripped down and sand blasted.I'm going to quick spray on some primer so it won't rust back up. I need help with two things. 1. What is a good primer paint combo? 2. In the past I've seen discussions on who's paint to use (Type and color). What paint do I use and what are the colors I'm looking to use for the orange and cream for the tractor? What color for the Johnson loader? Thanks in Advance
RayS Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 If you had it sand blasted I would use a good quality self etching primer first. And all automotive paint suppliers can match your paint if you take a sample to them. Try Napa there very reasonable on there paint.
KenK Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 I think black or cream for the loader that way it would match any tractor you mounted it to.Cream would look pretty nice on the orange simplicity.Just my opinion.
Tom_Byrne Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 Are you using spray cans or a paint gun? If you use a paint gun Ken's idea is the way to go- they can match up your paint from a piece of the tractor you bring in. If you are using cans, I have reccomended Allis-Chalmers Orange from Ace Hardware. It's a regular implement paint, almost a dead on match. Just use several thin coats and watch for runs- it tends to be a little runny. I used it on my 2010 and was very impressed. I just used Rustoleum white instead of cream because I just like it better- just one man's opinion. Good luck with it!
Chris727 Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 Chevy orange-red engine paint DE 1607 by Duplicolor is a good paint and its not too expensive. Its not slow drying either. Seemed like a near perfect match for my 1969 broadmoor. -Chris
happy Posted August 22, 2003 Author Posted August 22, 2003 Thanks all. That gives me the suggestions I was looking for.8D
James Noeske Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 I Just Painted a Power Max and used Krylon Ivory Aerosol with Martin Senour Detailers Choice Self Etch Primer P/N 7220 and I Used Martin Senour Allis Chalmers Orange Commercial Coatings P/N 620 or 621 All Availible at Napa
MPH Posted August 22, 2003 Posted August 22, 2003 I been using Almond for the off white. Nobody else to copare to around here and I'm happy with the way it looks..I used chevy orange red engine paint on my 725, but my Landlord looks more orange then the 725 did, when I get to it I may use Ace paint, since I bought a doz can for the 725 then decided it was to orange.MPH
Allis_B12 Posted August 23, 2003 Posted August 23, 2003 One tip that I learned from a friend: Always try to match brands of primer with paint. Otherwise, the paint may not stick well, and that would be a waste.
JoeJ Posted August 24, 2003 Posted August 24, 2003 :DMarty, Tom, What's the best way to empty those spray cans into the roller tray?
