Where do you get the tractor paint?

And does it come in Orange?

Looks Good! :icon_thumby:
 
We have a couple of farm and ranch supply stores close that carry a pretty good variety of paints. I don't know if they carry orange, I can check next time I am in one of the stores. The color I painted my BII is supposed to be Ford tractor red but looks almost like orange.

You oghtta wet sand and buff it, make it look real nice!
 
wow do they got a green color that would look good like flat camo green? and if your ever in washington and need something to do i'll give ya some money to paint my truck, thats a clean job... impressive
 
Thanks for the offer alpinestar, but the painting isn't the hardest part it's all the prep work that makes for a nice paint job. If you have a compressor and access to a paint gun you can save alot of money painting a vehicle yourself. Also, I'm painting on old 4x4's that aren't show trucks so the cheap enamal paint works for me. I took on learning to paint because I'm cheap and I usually end up beating up my rigs so I would cringe scratching up an expensive paint job.
 
You did a great job on it; it does look nice.
 
hey alpinestar just go to gander mountain and get some green duck boat paint. works great my buddy did it on his jeep.
 
Another $50 Paint Job

They have it at Tractor Supply Co.

They have my orange (Kubota Orange), green (John Deere Green), blue (Ford Tractor Blue) etc.

$29.99 a gallon.

TSC Paint

This is the Ford blue but they have about any color you want. Just type tractor paint in the search bar.

How long does it last? Does it fade quickly?

My Jeep stays in my basement garage so it's not in the sun. Would fading even be a concern?
 
they have it at Atwoods in OK. I used the International Blue which is supposed to be a navy blue but turned out more Ford blue on a trailer. Gonna use it on my truck next.
 
Painted my daughter's XJ with John Deere Yellow tractor paint. Tough stuff. $30 a gallon at the local ranch store. Also painted the Ranger with 2 quarts camo paint for the same store, $10/qt. Prep and paint for both trucks was less than $100, even factoring in sandpaper, plastic, tape and masking. AND beer and food for my frineds that helped. Ar ethey perfect? no. But are both good 50/50 paint jobs (50 feet or 50MPH)... And both look a helluva lot better than they did before.
