Piece by piece, I have been carefully stripping, de-greasing, sanding, priming, and painting various parts of my tractor and equipment.
Genuine Massey-Ferguson RED is six-bucks a can at the local farm supply.
Plain old Dollar General Store RED is a buck-fifty; and, it is as good as any spray paint I have ever used.
My tried and true procedure is two coats primer, then three coats of M-F RED; each coat is applied about thirty minutes apart.
After this has dried a couple hours, I apply two coats of DutchBoy CLEAR, thirty minutes apart.
I have found that the CLEAR yields a much longer lasting shine and protects the colored layers somewhat.
My question is :
If I apply two coats of the less expensive dollar store RED, then apply one coat of the M-F RED, will it affect the outcome of my color ??
Would my results be better if I waited longer between the plain old RED and the M-F RED ??
Your thoughts please.
