Thanks for the complement on our 706. Now about the paint.We started out with I.H paint from valspar. Primer and all. Paint is mfg by Valspar I.H.Red. #3344. On the shelf was a primer by the same co. The problem of using their primer came to cause Cracking & blistering of the finished red. Had to take it all off and My son who painted our restored 92 ford truck.79 dodge restored,called valspar and reported the problem. They couldn't understand why. BUT YOU CAN BET IT DID!!!.Primer wouldnt" dry after 72 hrs. Still remained wet under neath the red finished color, Causing the finished red coat to out dry the primer. Now the truck paint he used on both trucks was Automotive paint and Primer( E poxy)requiring way less dry time and he had No problem using it on the tractor . The Valspar co said not to use a sealer coat on the finished red. but just a good wax to hold color fast from fading. If you intend to try a sealer coat over the finish. he (my SOn) suggest you try it on a piece of primed and finished metal to see if it wont crinkle or blister. But he suggest you use a good automotive Epoxy primer to begin with. Holds well when applied to sand blasted metal. Namely an automotive primer Gray in color. Now the rim paint is Rust-OLEUM Protective enamel. That can be sealed with out a problem. All the white panels was painted with Valspar Tractor & Implement #4431-14 Gloss white. with using their Enamel Hardener. Years ago I painted fire trucks in a factory so I passed along this information to my son who is now a better painter then I was then. Along with my advise was telling him PAYING ATTENTION TO DETAIL works each and every time. And He really took it to heart and his work shows. Hope this info is helpfull to you as yours is to us. LOU
