PPG 60080 is what I used on my CA last week. In my opinion, a spray gun is necessary if you want to do a quality job. We used a Craftsman mainly and it did a great job. We got a "touch up gun" at Harbor Freight for about $12.It is great for what its name says-touch ups, but could probably do a whole tractor for a man on a budget! ------------- 1956 WD45 Narrow Front Factory Power Steering, 1953 WD Wide Front Allis Express in Muncie, IN |

| Jarrod -PPG60080 is correct. BTW nice job on the CA. It is a great match to persian orange #1 Im glad to see you did painted your CA a correct orange. So many folks use the wrong paint shade, nothing wrong with that, but I think you will find as you get further along in collecting that you will appreciate what you used. Did you use the JAU acrylic urethane, or what if not? |

That is one thing that kind of annoys me, having the wrong color paint on a tractor. I used Omni Acrylic Enamel. I got it at Carquest here in Muncie. I think it was around $25 per quart and I used just over 3 quarts. ------------- 1956 WD45 Narrow Front Factory Power Steering, 1953 WD Wide Front Allis Express in Muncie, IN |
