Paint For Case Ingersoll Restoration

Go to your local Case IH dealership and get the real deal. They might have to order it in as not every dealership stocks the desert colors now, but it is damm nice paint to use on machinery. For an even nicer finish be sure to get the hardener that works with it. [Be sure to wear a charcoal mask if spraying indoors as it is really "buzzy" stuff.] As a bonus, any overspray over 3 feet away will be dry when it lands and easy to vacuum up!

THANK YOU! I don't have any dealerships that I know of near me that have much Case IH. I know one that sells a variety of brands but specializes in Case IH about an hour away. Do you think a place like this would be able to order in the paint needed or would I have to go to more of a straight Case IH dealership? Obviously I could give them a call and find out but I am tired of getting laughed at by the parts guys lol. Desert sunset and flambeau red are exactly what I am looking for thank you so much!

I'd make the call, then go get it if in stock or order it.

Our trusted (member) dealers won't laugh at you, and have parts you won't find elsewhere. Note, I believe there are regs that make it impractical if not impossible for them to ship paint, being a flammable hazard.

If you have a Case IH dealer close they sell Iron Guard paint, rattle cans and quarts. The colors you want are desert sunset and flambeau red I believe.

Good evening, I was looking to restore my 222 and I was wondering what paint to use. I don't know if there is some sort of paint code that I haven't been able to locate or how people have been able to get pretty much perfect paint matches for their restoration? If anyone could let me in on the secret for the proper paint color... that would great! -Thank you for your time View attachment 128466

If you're like me, say, paint several pieces at a time,
with each piece painted individually including mixing paint in small batches, In other words, everything painted but done piece meal,
You'd likely require 1.5 gallons of paint to cover your tractor in one color. You'd require about the same amount, for the primer as well. Once you decide on a primer color, stick with it,, don't change that base color.

I'd posted this info in one of my builds, paint amount, mixing parts of hardener to parts of paint (Required in my mind) and thinner (although I don't recall the amount if any) Measuring cups,, absolutely mandatory.

You don't require a very expensive paint gun,, (all that means is, you'll spend a huge amount of time cleaning it) Get a cheaper one < $50 and chuck it after a whiles. It's not the gun that gives you a nice paint job,, it's the prep, the paint mix parts, and your learning ability. (It's not hard, but it does come with a bit of hard learnings, no big deal, let it dry, clean it up, and shoot again)

Case IH paints is a tough paint, and fairly decent to work with. (difficult to beat it)

Yes. A decent hvlp gun does not take a lot of cfms. Especially as you are not painting continously.
