Tsc sells that BPS paint I think. That is pretty good stuff and I think they have New Holland Blue. Use their primer and hardner and you will be fine. I have also had very good luck with the New Holland Ford Paint right from the Ford tractor dealer. Either kind will do a very good job on what you are doing. Good luck.

I bought some of this paint with the hardener from TSC for my 9N. I've been reading other posts in this group and I'm now wondering if I will need any special equipment.

I just have a Campbell/Hausfeld siphon feed gun, no fresh air aparatus, no painting booth, no heat lamps, etc.

I just want to give my N a new, uniform coat of paint. I don't want to show it.

Hey Bruce, you are on the right track to paint the 9n. You will have excellant results with the paint. Mine came out looking beautiful. You can see the color of it on the tractor photos that are on the left side of the page. Just click tractor photos and put in " michigan ford 9n" and you will see my tractor on there to let you know the color you will have. I Rolled it outside on my cement approach and had the tires and wheels right off of it and set it on jack stands on a big tarp. Took off the hood and fenders and masked everything else. I wear a respirator though. You should get one at the paint store. I mix 2 ounces of valspar hardner in 1 quart of paint and thin it with maybe 8 ounces of naptha per quart. I don't measure it, I just dump it in the mixing bowl until it is the consistancy I like for spraying. It will vary depending on how warm it is outside. I dump the paint in the spray cup through a strainer and put on white disposable coveralls, rubber green gloves, safety glasses and a respirator. Now set the compressor at about 55 psi and go to work. Put on a light flash coat on everything and wait a few minutes for it to get tacky, then go around a put about two more nice coats on until it is nice and flowing good and shiny, not too heavy though as it could run. I rarely will go more than three coats because it can easily run on you. I actually get by most times with two nice coats. I use a siphon feed campbell hausfield gun like yours and it does a beautiful job for me time after time. I really like that gun. Experience really helps give you good paint jobs. The more you do, the better you will get. I try to paint when it is about 70-80 degrees, sunny, low humidity and not windy or with lots of bugs. Good luck, It will look great.

This has been discussed many times -- you can do what you want, but there is NO cartridge mask certified for iso's, except that you "can" use one if the VOC's are less than 10 times the "acceptable" limit -- there is no way for a hobbiest to measure that. You have to have supplied air, unless you want to chance getting sick. Isos bother some people, others get by with a cartridge mask. Problem is they are cumulative, and sometimes result in a bad respiratory attack without warning. If you want to chance that, go ahead.

Make sure you buy a respirator that is certified by NIOSH, which is a government agency. The respirator cartridge must be certified for organic vapors (solvents)and particulates (dust and mist). The proper cartridge that screws on the respirator will be color coded both with black (vapors) and purple (particulates). Do not buy a cheap dust mask or use a respirator cartridge that is made for other hazards (e.g., pesticides, acids). These will not protect you. Make sure you do not have a beard or face hair that will compromise the face seal. To check repirator seal, exhale while covering exhaust port and inhale while covering cartridge opening to check seal. The organic respirator cartridges do not last a long time, they have carbon in them just like a water filter, that expire after long use.
