I could use a little advise from anyone who has painted with it.Right now i'm painting a CC 1872 and i have the Cub Cadet yellow 759-3263.Just wondering what people use for reducer and hardener and what ratio.I have been told by a guy that the paint is pre mixed and he just uses hardener.Have not tried that yet.I would like more input before i do it.it is $$$.I would just like a starting point.Also what kind of hardener reducer?Thanks for any help or advice John

I just use the hardener tractor supply sels for their valspar paint and a cheap enamel reducer.
Look at a can at tractor supply to see what they use for a thinner
You need to reduce it to spray it.
And no hardener it will take a day to dry.

Tractor supply federal yellow works good for cub paint and is a third the price.
It's just a cheap synthetic enamel

there is a guy on you tube who restored a cub cadet. totally stripped, primed and painted it. he used tractor supply (valspar) paint on it. go to you tube, type in 500passwords. he has a ton of videos, many on his painting techniques. very amusing but also informative. just a backyard mechanic like us.

Thanks for the help.I have talked with a few people who paint cc and the one thing that they all have in common is they all use a different ratio and different products.I really in joyed the you tube guy he did start using the cc paint.
