I like PPG's shop line, Omni. I use the epoxy primer and the single stage acrylic urethane. It's reasonably priced and very durable.

+1 for that. I used the same on my 100.

X2 I also used it on my CCO. Sprays great, just wished the yellow covered a bit better....

It doesn't matter what brand you buy, all yellow covers like crap for some reason.

Well um, kinda

. I use Rust Oleum old caterpillar yellow and have almond that I have not used yet. I use ace rust stop yellow primer and will use rust oleum white primer for almond. I did some research on colors before I went this road, as spray cans are my only option for now. I need to buy an air compressor and spray gun. I'm happy with the way my first refurb is going and look forward to doing it the "right" way

oh ya, I'm getting 15oz cans for $32/case which is 6 cans, not a bad deal I think!

Sminkey , what prep work did you do before spraying your ace hardware primer .Did you sand anything . Do you know the # of old cat yellow rustoleum yellow.

Sminkey , Finally got my case of old cat yellow and the sun came out today .
I painted one pulley cover with the old cat yellow , the other with TSC Valspar cub cadet yellow . In the center is a round cover off frame of my 123 for a comparison to the original IH paint .

This picture is the Rustoleum Appliance Epoxy Almond from Homedepot . I think it is a good match for the white. While spraying over a deck pulley that still had original paint , wow it looked close as it was going on could not tell the difference . The only white I have original is my faded scratched hood not the best for comparison but looks close .

If you're good with rattle cans to heck with a paint gun and compressor. My dad can't paint with a gun it just doesn't work well. Give him a rattle can and watch out. pro quailty paint job at his fingertip. If only they put more colors in the industial rustolium cans! I never thought about Old Cat Yellow may have to look at that. We did use almond on his 127.
