Best paint for repainting tractor

[Brady D]

I’m repainting my Ford 1910 and I’m wanting to know what the best high quality paint is

"Best" is gonna be something urethane based like cars are painted with.

But for tractors and implements, I have had good luck with the valspar tractor and implement paint. Used to be sold at TSC but then TSC switched to Majic brand and it sucks.

Havent needed paint for a few years.....so dont know where to get it from. But If I were painting one today Id be looking for the valspar

I tried using the rust oleum farm implement paint and it is junk it has very little strength against anything I’ll definitely look for the valspar paint

Most paints are not that different from each other. Subtle differences. Application technique, like powdercoating makes more of a quality difference.

I'll agree to disagree.

Good paint is good. Cheap paint sucks. Majic is the latter

How about buying the paint from ford new Holland?
I painted a little ford tractor once and the paint I bought from Ford was great, just like the factory paint.
It cost a little more but I was happy with the finish.

That was it. Silly me got corn-fused about where I posted. Thanks.

And just as "valuable" for this thread.

I bought paint for my 8N from the New Holland dealer mainly because its hard to get the correct grey from aftermarket. Touch up cans from Kubota, and now for the 630 getting paint from JD dealer.
All of it seems to be good paint. Restored old Bunting gliders using rustoleum and like it as well.

Get crazy and paint it a car color for the blue. Auto paint is of a higher quality. Have to agree with LD1 on how sucky the Majik colors are.
The Mustang color "Grabber Blue" with "Wimbledon White" would look great on that tractor.
Still in the Ford family of colors even if your tractor ends up looking like a Boss 429.

Wimbledon White! Classic stock color on the Ford pickups of 50 years ago, and probably on a lot of other Fords too.
