Paint Mix Ratios
In the next week or so I hope to spray my 1572 fenders and body panels. I have some experience painting but am by no means a professional, I will be using a HVLP gun with 1.3 or 1.4 tip at approximately 32psi.
The paint I purchased didn't have much for instructions on mix ratios, here are my plans below I'm hoping someone with experience using these paints can validate whether or not I am on track. Cub Cadet yellow (759-3263) Paint - 8 Reducer - 4 Hardner - 1 CNH Ironguard white (935) Paint - 8 Reducer - 4 Hardner - 1

Your Paint/Reducer/Hardener ratio has always worked for me using a 1.3 nozzle.
For Majic Paint, my ratio is 8:4:1.5 It has a much longer dry time so I add extra hardener to counter that reality and it’s “softer” properties when cured. With the extra hardener, it dries rock hard and I have never had it chip. Their hardener has a very high gloss. I have never had much success using Cub Cadet acrylic enamel because they don’t sell a reducer or hardener designed for the chemistry of their paint - requiring you to mix products from various manufacturers. I could never find products that mixed or sprayed well with it. Folks on various sites rave about NAPA products so you may want to start there for a compatible reducer and hardener. CaseIH sells a great product but I was told (Messick’s) that they didn’t sell a hardener so I stayed with Majic with pretty good results. I understand if you leave your equipment outdoors however, Majic paint has a tendency to fade.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
