Farm Equipment?

P

PUNISHERVETTE

I used SPI for my vette years ago and it seemed good....I still never finished that project but life will eventually get back to it.

Lately I've painted a lot of my old farm equipment(mowers, header carts, rims, discs...) Paint at the farm store are all water based enamels and even with a hardener added are just terrible. They seem to flake off if you look at it wrong. Some of that's due to prep since i'm not going to spend days prepping for farm equipment but some is just because it's an inferior product.

Was hoping the SPI 2 part epoxy can seal off minor rust and become a one coat system if I can tint it Deere green? Not looking to prime in black, paint deere green, then also clear....this equipment isn't worth that much time and $$$. I can hardly justify using fancy 2 part epoxy lol.

Any ideas for a one paint that seals minor rust, is super durable, and can be tinted green or blue as needed?
 
epoxy can be tinted but youll never get it in that shade of green since out of the can there is going to already be too much white or black in it. what you need to do is just use the epoxy first then topcoat it with some cheap acrylic enamel, oil base enamel or cheap polyurethane to keep cost down.
 
Punisher, give Magnet Paint a call in Alabama. They make an acrylic enamel that can be catalyzed called Magnacryl. They used to offer it in all OEM equipment colors like JD green, new and old CAT yellow, etc. etc.
 
I think I can buy acrylic enamels at the farm stores locally, including a hardener but they still want their "primer" one first which is only in brown, then their color coat.

I was just hoping for a one coat epoxy system since I know how durable it is. I just need a powdercoat oven the size of a small house and I'd be okay.
