Have multiple implements to paint up, and might get started in a couple weeks depending on what else is going on.
What is the best implement paint, for cost and durability, also non-fading?
Anyone have a good match for PO#1 and #2?
I would like a good paint, but don't want to spend money on PPG or automotive paint really. The SC equipment I have, will get scratched eventually.

| I've had good luck with Van Sickle on implements, not an automotive finish and it doesn't fade bad if the implement is in the shed most of the time. |

Don, I built this utility trailer in 99, with used steel salvaged from an aircraft hanger left over when Kincheloe AFB closed. When the welding and grinding were done I sandblasted, primed and painted with X-O Rust from true value hardware. Adheres very well but it has lost its gloss. The products I used were alkyd enamel. Due to climate change, Al Gore and the EPA , I don't think that the newer , cheap paints would hold up this well. But if you can get some xo rust, try it. Gary

I have heard of van sickle on here before, what hardware store carries this paint? I don't think I have seen this paint locally.

| I also like the Van Sickle they have a hardner that goes with it helps with gloss and durability. I get mine at a Fleet Farm store and special order PO 1 . One must remember it's still hardware store paint and will not last like automotive paint, however as said if kept under cover will do well. |

I have used the Valspar Restoration Series paint on several rehabs. Am not a painter and am color blind; however it went one very nice and looks good. Did 2 coats with no hardner and final coat with hardner (advice from a real good painter). Purchased the paint at Fleet Farm. ------------- What this country needs is more unemployed politicians-and lawyers. Currently have: 1 D14 and a D15S2.

| At work we are using Majic paint with Wet Look hardener. When it drys we scuff it and put on a Urethane Clear. Seems to be working great. |
