I've got an Allis WD45, I have had it about 20 years now. When I first picked it up I applied a cheap paint to it. It looked ok for a while but now has faded and looks terrible. Paint has held up and still protect the metal.

But I would like to give the old girl some new clothes. Have any of you applied a quality paint that wont fade quickly, over a cheap paint with sucess?? I really dont want to spend a lot of time with blasting and bondo, since this is still a working tractor. I have used Nason in the past with good results. On the Sheet Metal I would apply a sandable primer then paint.

One other question, Does AGCO have a good qulity paint that wont quickly fade??

Thanks much!!!!!

just a quick comment. I didn't have any luck finding what I think is the correct paint color in duponts nason line for persian orange. They told me that Nason's 655IB was the correct code, way too dark to me. Now in the Centari line YS074A is an excellent match. In ppg, 60080 is also an excellent match. I ended up using ppg paint on my G. If you find a good match in the nason line please let everyone here know.

You answered your own question: "I have used Nason in the past with good results. On the Sheet Metal I would apply a sandable primer then paint." I would, however, put a sealer over the old paint before the sandable primer --I would use epoxy primer, but since I'm not familiar with Nason I don't know what DuPont recommends -- so whatever their spec sheet says. I don't know what kind of paint AGCO sells. Some tractor manufacturers (Case-IH for one) sell an acrylic modified alkyd enamel, which is "almost" as good as Nason or PPG's Omni acrylic enamel.
