A few years ago I got all set to paint my Farmall A. I went to the local auto body guy (who's since moved) and bought some paint. Well life happened and the the project got shelved.
I'm getting the itch to paint the A again so I went to look and see what I had. The paint the local fellow got me a gallon of Dupont Centari Acrylic Enamel. The paint code is 7410A H, I haven't a clue where that number came from but a little googling shows it to be close to IH 50, which is what would have come on my A way back when. Not sure how close it is to 2150 but it sounds like 2150 has more orange in it.
I've also got a gallon of Dupont cold weather reducer and a smaller can of some off brand hardener. I now know that harder is not something I want to mess with unless I have a supplied air system. If I leave the harder out what am I going to sacrifice? Gloss, hardness, chemical resistance?
Anyway, how's Centari? Sounds like it's been around for quite some time. Is it forgiving for a rookie or am I in for a challenge?
Thanks,
K
