I have already primed them with rustoleum rust primer and was going to use the tractor supply brand paint called Majestic NH white in aerosol can. But I read that they(tractor supply) and lowes have a better paint for this. Would ya'll use aerosol or go with something else. I don't have a paint gun. Thanks, JT90 [Reply]   [No Email]

Or a walmart, lowes, meeks, home depot? If you are set on clear coat, you would do better with Krylon, Rust-Oleum or Crystl Clear enamel or urethane over your white.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Here is their website. A lot of marketing but no technical. Website says 7 days wait time to apply clear lacquer. I've never sprayed paint made from soybeans before so "I know nothing" :) Majic Paints   [Reply]  [No Email]

They don't tell you much on directions and that's why I called the company. I ask him how long to wait because I had read on this forum that it would wrinkle. They were the one's that said wait a week or it would wrinkle. This is why I'm asking because I don't want to mess up what I have already done. Really, you think I should put 2 more coats on rims This post was edited by JT90 at 20:19:42 01/22/13.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I've never heard of waiting a week to clear coat. That method would certainly kill a production shop. What's the directions say?   [Reply]  [No Email]

You don't say what the type of paint you're using. I'm assuming you are using their Tractor Alkyd Enamel and the clear he sold you is a Lacquer base. That is why he said wait a week. If the lacquer penetrate into the enamel, it will wrinkle. This combo never worked for me...but...Don't get the clear overly wet. Just enough to get gloss. If you have to put on a second coat, I'd wait until the first coat is completely dry to the touch.   [Reply]  [No Email]

The lacquer clear will yellow faster than if you just leave it white...but...If you rattle canned the white, you need two more coats. While aerosols are quick and easy, you don't get enough paint build up or mil thickness as a spray gun. This post was edited by MO8N4ME at 17:14:14 01/22/13.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Done a test spot on the fender and it looks good. It's a working tractor but both tires went bad so I thought I would paint wheels. They looked real bad so anything will help.   [Reply]  [No Email]

The guy in customer service for Majes paint said wait one week before clear coating. Thought I would mount the tires first then clearcoat. Would ya'll clearcoat or just let it go. First time trying to upload pictures.   [Reply]  [No Email]

I dont know what the fade or wearing longevity is on it but was shocked at the finish it had once dry. Super glossy and smooth. Couldnt believe it.   [Reply]  [No Email]
