Anybody here know what kind of job Steve Kopsa near Eldora, IA does on painting tractors? Had experience with him? While we're at it, what's your impression of the paint that Case-IH dealers sell? Does their rattle can paint color match that in the gallon cans?

I used Case IH paint from the dealer on my H and was very pleased with it.Used wet look hardener with it,the tractor shines better than it did new.I'd recommend it in a minute.There are certainly better paints out there,but if your budget is small like mine,dealer paint is the way to go.

I would use the paint that CNKS recommended. I used PPG's single stage Omni paint on a tiller with their paint number 71310. Your tractor will look like new. Hal

Case-IH paint in gallon cans is alkyd enamel, but it is an acrylic modified alkyd enamel -- due to UV inhibitors it will not fade as fast as the paint CIH sold a few years ago. The quarts may be the old alkyd enamel, as I bought a quart eariler this year, and it simply said "enamel", I am not sure. As long as you don't expect the acrylic modified to last forever, it is ok. For maximum durability you need acrylic or polyurethane. The rattle can paint should match good enough, at least I have heard it does. I prefer acrylic urethane, and am willing to pay the price for it -- about 3 times the price of Case-IH.
