Sorry if this shows my extreme tractor painting inexperience, but I have several questions about Case/IHC 2150 paint:

1. What type of primer is best to use with it?
2. Can 2150 be bought in an aerosol can, and if so,
3. Will aerosol give as good a quality of paint job as conventional paint?
4. What is the lifespan of it?
5. How much does it cost?
6. How much is required to paint a Farmall Letter Series Tractor?
7. Is hardener required, and if so,
8. Is it available in aerosol?
9. What is the application method?
10. Do I need a respirator to use it?
11. Any other info/tips about it that you might have.

One gallon of 2150 from my local IH dealer was $43.00 several months ago. The spray cans were $6.50. The spray can is a perfect match and they last a long time. Great for touch-up work. You will get a better coverage from the spray can if you prime the surface first.

1. If bare metal use an epoxy primer, if not you need a sealer before using the IH primer.
2. Yes, the best aerosol paint there is.
3. No.
4. The non-aerosol when used with hardener will last several years, particularly on a little-used tractor kept inside. It is not as durable as higher priced paint, however.
5. Don't remember, more than farm store paint, considerably less than the good stuff.
6. About a gallon for an H or M, less for an A,B,or C.
7. Works best, lasts longer, is more durable, and has higher gloss with hardener. You MUST use an air supplied system with hardener, a twin cartridge mask is not sufficient.
8. No
9. Use a good HVLP spray gun.
10. A twin cartridge respirator with new filters is ok for unhardened paint. If you have a beard, shave it off or get an air supplied system.
11. Case-IH paint is adequate, it is not the best paint in the world. DuPont, PPG, or Martin-Senour acrylic enamel with hardener, or (preferred) acrylic urethane are better. Acrylic urethane will not cure properly without hardener. I am picky and remove everything from the tractor, and take everything to bare metal first. It takes a LONG time.

CNKS, I beg to disagree with you on subject #3, I painted my 1940 H using only aerosol cans of 2150, have had several favorable comments, most people can't believe I used spray cans.

If you have the technique, fine. Most people don't. It may look good, maybe even better than I can do with a spray gun. But, if you are that good with cans, imagine what you could do with acrylic urethane with hardener, or a base coat/clear coat. There is the quality of the paint, then there's the quality of the painter.

I can get the results I want only with the Case-IH paint, I have tried with Van-Sickle brand and it does not work, I get runs and uneven coverage just like you would expect with aerosol cans.

2150 is excellent, I have a couple of cans of Van Sickle that I will pay someone to take off my hands--worst paint I have ever used.

I will try and answer some of your questions.

I just painted my IH and used 2150 IH paint with hardner. You will need respirator and an air source for breathing.

I used rustoleum spray paint to get into the hard to get places, let it dry for a couple of days, then painted with the 2150. The rustoleum is called International red #7466, and is an implement paint that I bought at Menards. You will need about 7 cans, and don't put it on thick, let your 2150 IH make the final coat. The Rustoleum can be used to paint small parts, its handy for that,and matches very closely.

I think you wouldn't be happy without using the hardner, but you need to take the necessary precautions.

A tractor is the hardest thing to paint cause of all the nooks and crannys. An experienced painter will have different ideas, I am not experienced but what I did worked for me.
