Base/Clearcoat Paint
An experienced restorer in my area who has painted hundreds of IH tractors over the years has suggested using a base/clearcoat when he paints my 70, 100, and 123 in the next few weeks. He and his son, who have a reputation for their fine work, have painted many (probably hundreds) of tractors over the years -- virtually all of them with a base/clearcoat. This being the case, I'm inclined to go along with his recommendation. While it is a bit glossier than factory paint, it does offer a fantastic finished look --and I've been assured that any necessary touch up work later on won't be any more difficult than with other paints... Just my two cents!
