Majic paint at TSC - Page 2

^^Pretty sure TSC doesn't say to add someone elses product to it too!

I've had fantastic success with PPG products in general, but that's usually way above what we're looking to do on here.

i was painting something that didnt matter one day and just threw it in because i didnt have any of the majic hardener left. i wouldn't recommend mixing brands on something that mattered.

I was actually calling out the TSC crap product for requiring a GOOD product to be added to it, not what you tried.

You're a body guy, right? I've never priced it out but I would think doing a tractor in PPG should only be about $150 of materials... Thoughts?

Mixing brands cheap or not is a no no. It may work or you could end up with a giant mess. I use orscehlens van sickle , but I wax mine twice a year and keep it inside and have been known to cover it with a blanket! Lol automotive paints are the best and are out of most of our price ranges. Bottom line it's your tractor use what you want . I have heard a lot of negative things about tsc majec paint. I'd go to case IH and get paint if I didn't use van sickle.

i doubt $150 would do it, i priced a gallon of ppg essential when i did mine and it was about $200 and thats just for the paint, add another 50 to 60 for hardener and activator. yellow single stage is always tough to gauge how much you need because yellow always has poor coverage.

As far as mixing brands I generally agree, but Majestic is total crap.. I can't fault him for trying it since there was literally nothing to lose. I doubt it was a customer job.

Hummm... I'm not that experienced, but I was thinking a couple of quarts would cover a tractor? I have heard that on Corvettes yellow is a "premium" color option and costs more than others. Makes sense if that's the case. (well... sorta... It's not like 5 minutes of extra robot painting time is really worth $1200 at the stealership).

I'll just ask the question since you're a pro. If you were going to paint one tomorrow for "average" condition paint, what would you use? Obvious show paint would be the best, but I don't think may of us really want show tractors. I've been eyeing the Valspar stuff.

Don't mean to kick Majic paint while it's down, but I'm going to anyway. Far and away the worst rattlecan paint I've ever used. Everyone has covered it: sprays like crud, looks like crud, won't dry and did I say it looks like crud!

I actually found Valspar CC yellow on Amazon. Overpriced by the time you ship a box of 4 or 5 cans, but in my case I didn't have an alternative and was just glad to have a few more cans to finish my 147.

The case/ih paint is made by valspar and ive have excellent results with it.

Im not gonna buy any majic. My local Ih Case deal is out of IH Yellow and wont stock it again since no one buys it. They wouldn't even get it in for me!

Was just curious...........

Call ANY dealer in the US until you find one that will drop ship to you... It shouldn't be too hard to get someone to take your money.

That said, I'd get the Valspar on Amazon.
