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!

A New Holland dealer might be able to order the paint for you, as they have the same parent company, I doubt they would have it on the shelf.

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

Ah shucks,,,er,, thanks. Also,,, I ain't no "sir"! Heck, I'm only 50 and change. There is very few secrets to a nice resto or paint job. 90% preparation + 10% application. Look up Lionel's restos if you really want to see quality work! There are many talented dudes here, only some take the time to document the process instead of just the finished product. I look forward to your progress pics!

I set myself up to sandblast but if you are not so equipped, it is well worth the expense. No better metal surface for primer and paint to adhere to than after you have thrown some sand at it IMO.
