I used PPG Concept over a NAPA acrylic urethane sandable primer.

Three things to say in retrospect. I'm really very pleased with the outcome. The primer filled well, and sanded well. The Concept handled really well going on and the very few runs I got wet-sanded out very nicely with 2000 grit and polished back up in good shape. (Another local tractor guy has a thought about painting. "Runs don't rust," is his motto.)

I also had some problem with getting the color right on the Concept. I severely underestimated the amount of paint I'd need. The first batch I bought was their formula for 2150 and came out just right. When I went back, they mixed some more up to the same formula, and it came out too orange. Wound up having to scan a piece that I'd already painted and let the computer sort it out. The formula was quite a bit different between the two, but they wound up maching exactly. We'll see over time if they fade any differently.

Last thing I'd say is, as happy as I am with the outcome, it wouldn't be my first recommendation to most folks, only because it's so ungawdly expensive. I can't imagine I'll use it on any other tractor. This is the only tractor I've ever painted stem-to-stern, so I'm ot sure what else it would be, but I've no doubt there are other good paints out there that will produce a good, deep, durable finish. (Did I get a little carried away with my sentimental attachment to this particular tractor in choosing the Concept?? Probably so.)

Today's Featured Article - An AC Model M Crawler - by Anthony West. Neil Atkins is a man in his late thirties, a mild and patient character who talks fondly of his farming heritage. He farms around a hundred and fifty acres of arable land, in a village called Southam, located just outside Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si ... [Read Article]
