Paint Ideas

Post by NGraham »

As it's cold in the garage, and School has my funds a little low, I'm in the thinking-more-than-doing stage.

This has me going over and over how I'm going to paint the 220, and I thought I would see what cool jobs some of you have done!

My first 646 restoration in 2019 started with having everything sandblasted and primed. Painting was done with a 3 part epoxy, outdoors, at home.

Lately I have been buying "rust enamel" and spraying it with universal hardener and reducer . Outside due to the isocyanide in the hardener . Allmost all hardeners contain it , so must be used with care . Been getting some good results and durability.

I’ve painted a few but not in a long time. I always did the prep work over winter and paint outside on a nice low humidity summer day. None of mine were show quality by any stretch, but I was always happy with the results.

The paint jobs on these two are 15 to 20 years old now. The pictures are kind but they still look decent for tractors that get used.
