Cheep paint
I just painted my 420 with magic truck and tractor paint from Tractor supply. I was a little skeptical been an oil base but it actually came out good. I followed the mixing instructions to a T and used a suction feed spray gun. It covered very well and left a nice gloss with the recommended hardener. The only thing I didn't like is that it has some orange peel to it. I'm use to acrylic enamel so next time I will try thinning it a little more and set my air at 45psi.Next week I will spray the yellow. Yellow has a tendency to not cover well so we will see?

I did use the recommended amount of hardener. So far it shines well and its been a week now. It did take a good 24hrs to dry to the touch Probably the oil base and that my shop is around 55 degrees this time of year.
Should have it back together in a couple of weeks I will try to post some pictures if I can remember how?
