TISCO Thinner and Hardner

He said that Tisco paints use a Naptha thinner which also contains hardner. That doesn't sound right to me because I think hardner and thinner are always two separate products that are not combined. The dealer didn't have the colors I need in stock except in rattle cans. I plan on ordering the paint to use with a spray gun.

Can someone with experience tell me about Tisco paints, what thinner to buy and what hardner? Also does it tell you on the can the mixing ratio? Should I order an entire gallon of Red and Gray for an 8n?

Thanks,
Scott

As I recall, the Valspar hardener calls for 8 to 1 mix ratio(it's listed on the can).

My painting skills are C+ maybe, but in my case the Tisco seems to run more easily than the oil-based TSC.

I was thinking at first about using TSC IH red on my 8n, and using Rustoleum to mix the gray recipe that someone listed on here. Then I saw the gray at the parts dealer, and that it was an almost perfect match. They also sold TEMPCO paints, but I didn't have a sample of the colros. The more I look at all these paints the more confusing it gets.

On my last tractor, I used PPG paint. It is good paint but I do not want to spend that much money on this paint, but still want good quality. I appreciate all your responses.
