CNKS: Sorry you don't have a jobber closer who sells paint only. The test cards I suggested are to protect you from errors on their part. The test card is usually 3x6 with a white half and a black half. When spraying a coat on the tractor, spray a coat on the card. When you get about three coats on tractor and card, take the card out in the sunlight it will tell you if you have coverage. The next time you buy paint, take the card with you and use it to verify the color at the store to be sure they mixed it correctly. My jobber always puts a dab on the lid that you can compare to. In answer to your question about tint, yes, a drop or two of the orange in this formula will indeed shift the tone. The test card will help. Another problem with Omny, is that the jobber is limited in the number of toners that they have for this paint. Jobbers usually don't like to guarantee a 100% match because of this. PPG says that Omny, DAR, or DCC may be clear coated. They only mean that the paints are compatible. If you do clearcoat, and the jobber has made the least little error, the UV'S in the sunlight will pick up that error and magnify it for all to see. That is why at shows we may see blue Farmalls, pink ones and yellow ones. Most of them have been clearcoated. We NEVER clearcoat tractors for this and other reasons. Besides that, they hadn't invented it yet.
