I am working on adding fenders, seat support, and seat pan to my beat-up Case 648 loader. This group has been fantastic in helping to understand what I bought, what is needed, and where to get it. Thank you all...
The previous question posted was for help in determining paint color - consensus was either power tan or power yellow. When I get a day off work I will be going to the closest Case/IH dealer to pick up a quart of whichever matches the underside of my seat pan.
Searching this site today and the FAQ I did not find any specific painting tips. I have a basic HVLP sprayer I used with Rustoleum to paint a tractor cart with last year. Basic oil based paint, was not a bad job - durable and looks OK. For the Case 648 though I am interested in obtaining a durable paint job that will look nice and last. With that in mind I am wondering if anyone can direct me to some websites or references for backyard painters regarding prep, painting tips, etc?
Also, I was initially intending to use the Valspar catalyst with the Case paint to increase the durability but reading up on the isocyanate hazards I have second thoughts. Is the Case acrylic enamel durable enough without the catalyst?
Thanks!
