I am about to start painting my 806 Farmall. Can any tell me what the correct paint code for PP&G OMNI acrylic enamel. I need them for both the red and white. Also I would be very interest to know anyones experience with this paint and harders in general.

Hi Seth, I've never used Omni paint, but I've used Dupont, Acme and PPG. Any auto parts store
can furnish you with paint. I'd recommend using
acrylic enamel with the catalyst hardener. I've always had good luck using this. I always use a
primer that calls for a hardener and it comes in gray or red. You should get A HVLP spray gun since this will cut out a lot of over spray. They aren't that expensive now and will last for years. Good luck, Hal

The red code is IH 2150, PPG 71310, don't know the white code. 71310 will have an orange tint to it. Depends on how it is mixed, you may or may not find the tint objectionable. I have gotten used to it. Omni acrylic enamel (MAE) can be used with or without hardener. Omni acrylic urethane (MTK) must be used with hardener. Hardener makes the paint cure almost immediately and gives higher gloss. Regardless, keep gas or diesel off of it. A charcoal mask will not protect you from the isocyanates in the hardener, you need a supplied air system. There is LOT of info on this paint on this site on the Paint and Bodywork Forum. Pay particular attention to posts by Rod(NH) and Butch. If you see a post saying Omni is junk, ignore it. It is an excellent low end paint.

do you think that it is worth the money to use Omni paint with out hardner? Would I be as well off just using IH red? Basically which is better?

I can't answer your question, as I have not used IH 2150. People have had good results with it. It is an acrylic type paint, so it is much better than the synthetic enamels that farm stores sell. The Omni acrylic enamel is probably better, but either will work. Personally I would not use either without hardener, but I have a supplied air system. Another advantage of hardener is that if you screw up you can make repairs the next day. Correctly repairing unhardened enamel is next to impossible.
