I have painted a lot of tractors using IH red from my dealer. I am old fashioned and have never used automotive paint, clear coat, or hardner of any kind. However I would like a more durable finish on the tractors that I use everday.I was wondering if a couple of coat of clear coat could be applied over IH red from my dealer?. Also does clear coat make the paint tougher, or just shine more? Any help or suggestions you could give would be greatly appreciated!

You can use any synthetic paint hardener with the IH 2150 red. I went to NAPA for mine at around $12 a quart. Mix it one ounce hardener to eight ounces of paint. The NAPA boys can give you the right number. If not email me and I will give you the number of what they had in stock.

ClearCoat covers the paint with a layer of plastic (urathane). You can clearcoat over your paint job, but you need to scuff it up so the clear will bond to it... You can also add a hardener to your IH paint and make it more durable, but can't help you with a product
