Tractor implement paints

[Ranger850]

What's the difference between implement and paint?

Will implement hold up to heat better?

Can I use it on brake calipers?

I guess I meant something else.

My understanding is implement paint is highly wear resistant, not too sure about temperature.

I would look more at engine paint.

Tractor and implement paint holds up better to wear and fade than regular paint, but it’s not heat resistant enough for brake calipers, there’s specific paint for that. Also, most tractor paints are oil based and can be used with a hardener for the ones in a pail.

I know they have caliper specific paints. I was just wondering about this stuff. I got it on sale at "Tractor Supply"

I've been using the quarts of like branded oil based stuff for years and have been happy with it, it seems to hold up reasonably well. As previously mentioned, there are caliper specific paints that will hold up better to high heat though.

I know of people rolling around with regular Krylon on the engine and hot side of the turbo in their 7.3L super duty. I suspect that implement paint would perform as well. Personally I'd use engine, brake, ot exhaust paint on the really hot stuff.

Dunno about turbos or calipers but after about a minute of idling "tractor paint" is smoking and turning black on a tractor exhaust manifold.

Generally offbrand puff cans don't hold their color. Jd green turns blue, ih red turns pink etc.

Off brand as in not from a dealer.

No paint is going to hold up on the exhaust manifold, even the high temp stuff will burn off.

A low compression tractor manifold at idle should be substantially cooler than the hotside of a turbo on a 7.3

Quality paint meant for wood stoves will not burn off an exhaust manifold, though there is a curing process involved. I do not think stove paint would do well on a caliper because it probably does not get hot enough, but, I never tried stove paint on a caliper, so, I do not know.

Farm implement paint is mean to be put over rusty and ill prepared surfaces where shine and quality is not the top priority. As others have noted, it tends to be harder then car paint. Rustoleum tends to do okay, but, it is a bit soft, but, thinned (think I used Xyltol?) it sprays nicely on 4x4s and trailers using a regular car spray gun. Forget about waxing it.

I personally like Durabak bed liner and I am doing my newest project in it, forest green.

I do think Durabak has high temperature paint if you wanted to check it out.
