I'm looking at painting an MF 135 with Majic paint (from TSC), and based on others who have fading issues with it, unless clear-coated, what type of clear coat would you suggest (lacquer, urethane, acrylic, etc. ?) The Majic paint will be applied with the hardener, if that makes a difference.

thanks

Try another "brand" of paint;you already know Majic won't last.Rustolium would be my choice.

Hard to find the Rustoleum now.

Lowes is switching to Krylon. Not sure how well it will last but it goes on like water, takes 3 times more paint, and is very easy to run.

TS has Rustoleum at twice the price.

I did my 855 with Rustoleum and it still looked pretty good at 5 years but was beginning to flake in an area I know got prepped and sanded.

I just did the loader on my 4310 with Majic so time will tell on that.

Red has always been one of the worst colors for fading so that may play a part in it.
