Correct yellow spray paint?

[782CC]

I don't know about the correct yellow, But I have to put in a mention for Van Sickle paint I found at Orschlen's. What I really like is how smooth the surface of the paint is. Especially for snow. So far wearing well. I like it much better than Rustoleum or Valspar.

I agree, I painted this cart with Van Sickle paint and it absolutely shines and reflects in the sun. Some before and after pics. I've used IH white, red, and yellow. They all match pretty good as far as I'm concerned.

That is a nice cart, and tractors!! when i was at the local farmers implement the other day (case IH) dealer, i asked them which is "better" paint; the cub cadet, or the case ih, of course they all said the case ih...well, i shot my tunnel cover with it after welding the manual valve hole closed, 2k primer, and blocked her out (had to get two new autos) and i was actually shocked at how good it sprayed and laid, hardly any peel... 8-9 bucks a can though, but didnt even use close to half a can, and has at least 4 nice coats on it, not that it needed it for coverage..it has been plowed with maybe 15 times since, boots, even kids standing and riding on it and not a single mark, very hard finish...i have been squirting for along time and would rather use my guns, but being without my good compressor (old man is trying to steal it i think!) I have been just shooting little parts with cans and i have to say that was by far the BEST...i have experimented with valspar (not too bad, prone to fading, takes forever to FULLY cure), majik (TOTAL GARBAGE) van sickle (ok, but has to be shot via hvlp with right mix and pressure for prof quality), rustoleum (good for touchup, will shear if sags or runs, all around not a bad paint) my favorite is ppg, however have not tried it for cubby parts, and i have not tried the case ih version of cub yellow either so i cannot attest to that...of course just my opinions is all...i also shot the underside with auto undercoating..so far so good...wonder if i should do the inside of the side sheilds with it??

I used so much paint because I shot it out in the driveway with a slight breeze for two days, but here in Missouri you got to do it with the weather changing every day. Think I lost most of the paint in the wind, but at least the wind kept the bugs away. I used truck bed liner paint on the floor. That's a good Idea to use it on the sides too. I don't think undercoating would work because it gets hard after a while and will peel off with hard use like filling with gravel. The liner stuff is thicker and rubberized and comes in different colors like white and is made for abusive use.

I actually called Majic this morning to let them know their TSC offerings weren't cutting the mustard. The guy sounded sympathetic enough, and his response included "government" and "lower VOCs."

There ya go.

It is true that new laws are changing VOC content among other things but they are all playing by the same rules. Some paint manufacturers are just doing a better job adapting to the new laws. On my way now to TSC to return Majic and then to Home Depot to purchase Rustoleum. Maybe one of these days I'll find the courage to use a spray gun.
