 Topic: what is your choice of tough paint?
Posted: 15 Aug 2016 at 11:29am |

Hello All,
Just looking for some input. I am looking for a tough paint that does not require a clear coat. What are you using?
Is polyurethane the toughest paint?
Thanks

Single stage means no clear coat, so that's what you want. I used acrylic enamel with harder on mine. It's looks good, but seems to chip easier than I'd like. When it chips you can see the primer underneath. I used self etching primer, then sealer, then paint. I have a theory that the sealer actually chips off and takes the paint with it, but I don't know if that's true.

Bare metal with rust. No matter what you do you can't mess it up!

Probably can't go wrong with ppg deltron with dp50 epoxy primer under it plus they have good allis codes.

I use urethane enamel with the proper hardener. I've used it on my last 3 tractors, I'd use it again.
I also prime with a self etching primer as the first coat, then use a sandable primer, followed by a sealer before painting.
Works well.
Oh yeah, I get the paint at NAPA. They too have all the proper paint codes.

I have used Omni single stage urethane on several and like the gloss and durability of the paint. It is a PPG product and as said they have the proper codes. It is a lower level auto paint price wise and with primer, sealer, top coat, activator,and reducer it will cost in the $700 range to end up with a good paint job that will last your lifetime.
