Rust oleum farm implement paint

[Brady D]

Has anyone used any Ford blue rust oleum farm implement paint I’m wanting to repaint my tractor and I’m wonder if it’s worth using

 

[Have tractor did travel]

I used Rust Oleum's Kubota orange. I found it to flow nicely. Coverage was good, but required 2 coats on a safety yellow original color that I was covering over. I think the Rust Oleum IMPLEMENT paint has provided a stronger finish that other (for metal) paints I have used.

Ive sprayed Rust-Oleum primer then flat black Rust-Oleum tractor implement spray on a trailer after I rebuilt it used a cheap hvlp sprayer. It's looks good for my usage and is in good shape several years later. I believe I used acetone to thin the primer and mineral spirits to thin the actual paint.

Ive used some of the spray cans on a few small parts and I’m really pleased with it

I like it, though haven't used the Ford blue itself. When I need to tough up Deere yellow and green after fab work, it looks better than the master match for that type of thing. I bought a bucket of blue Rustoleum for mine.

It’s good to hear that it holds up can’t wait to get the shine back on my Ford

I use Rust-Oleum tractor implement on all my projects and equipment, for the price, durability, and selection of colors it works pretty good even if I have to rattle can it. I do prep everything pretty good with a wire wheel, blow gun and wipe it down with acetone. Good luck

I used some brand of lead based Barn Red on a couple of my out buildings in 1982. That was 40 years ago and they still look acceptable. This picture shows full sun exposure and - basically - no sun exposure.

It doesn't match the factory blue color I got from New Holland. The factory color has a slight tint of green when compared side-by-side. If your doing the whole tractor, It's not going to mater though. If you're touching up, there will be a noticeable difference.

Also note the "Ford Blue" changed color in 1999 and is different than following years.

I bought a gallon for overall coverage. The factory paint (New Holland) is really good stuff and you can add acrylic compatible hardener, if you want. Use the "wet-look" hardener for the sheet metal. There's a huge difference in the shine. I used an automotive grade acrylic "bright white" for the fenders since I already had it.

This is one of the factory color rattle cans I got for doing spot painting and parts I had removed from the tractor. I bought a few rattle cans so I wouldn't have to mix paint from the gallon can. Oh yeah, use Xylene to thin the paint from the cans up to about 5%. Then add 8-to1 hardener.

may have lasted but the color match is a bit off.

I used the JD green on my 855. Looked great at first but faded pretty quick. Still looked good when I sold it but there was some flaking at 3 or 4 years. Just in one place but I know I didn't miss that area when I sanded and cleaned.

As far as a rattle can job there isn't any better. I tried the Krylon farm paint and it took 3 cans to cover what 1 can of Rustoleum did.

Does ordinary Rustoleum stand up to spilled diesel, gas, fuel additives?

My old truck ran into some Rustoleum rust neutralizer followed by flat black rattle can and/or cans of rustoleum paint. Had to use the flat black as my preparation and application skills are not up to standards.

Looks okay from a distance.

A before and several after.

Egon - looks totally acceptable.

I saw a weird one a couple years ago. A big Peterbuilt semi. The owner had it in to the LineX dealer. The ENTIRE cab was being sprayed with LineX bed liner. It was a smooth finish - not the textured finish you find in a pickup bed. His answer to the continuous rock chips he was getting on the gravel roads he drove on.

It was one really big black hulking thing ...............

You would find the truck underbody sprayed with a rust restore followed by Tremclad rust paint and finished off by a mixture of roofing asphalt/tar/gunk and diesel fuel applied with an air gun. All the frame parts are included with this spray and many of the body panels. The inside fender well edges were filled with bondo and finished to a smooth rounded surface that does not trap water Or debri.

Just can’t afford the proper materials but those I’ve used seem to work well.
