merk, your photos are great. they look like movie trailer posters from "chidren of the corn".

I'm with Merk...for a few dollars more you can have far superior auto paint.

This is PPG Shop Line in the correct colors for a 100.

What does one consider " a few dollars more".....the Valspar yellow is 11.95 QT at TSC....I realize the auto type paint is very good, but is the Valspar that bad ?

Rick, "that bad" depends on what you want for a finished product. The valspar is OK paint when you add hardener, but the durability is not going to be near as good with auto paint. plus auto paint will look far better and I think shoot easier than valspar. If you're going to work the snot out of it, go valspar.. If you are going to use it and show it, then I would highly recomemd auto paint.

This is the PPG Shopline paint on my CCO


I will be doing the 682 this spring, and I am pondering which to use myself. I work the 682 far more than I do the CCO

If the auto paint isn't all that much more I'd probably still go with that since it'll hold up better even if it is a worker.

ive did a set of weights (yellow) and a set of rims (white) with valspar rattle cans. you dont notice really easily but the yellow is more orange and the white is a tanner version of the white. they look perfectly fine on a work tractor but i wouldnt use it on a show piece. i also heard the valspar fades kind of easy
