Subject: Agco paint/ hardener question
Date Posted: 06 Jul 2016 at 5:56pm
| I am getting ready to paint a 7030 and am using Agco paint. I'm wanting to buy the hardener for it, but is it an alkyd enamel or acrylic? I can't remember what I used last time I went through this and I can find any posts on it. What kind of hardener and thinner does everyone use with it? I'm thinking I used Valspar Renew hardener and either laquer thinner or naphtha thinner, but wasn't sure. |

| I am about 90% sure Agcos paint is enamel. Hopefully someone else will chime in! Ryan |

AGCO paint is indeed enamel.

This will really show my stupidity, but I thought all paint was enamel? Can someone explain in simple-man's terms? Thanks!

After searching google for over an hour I finally typed the right thing in and I don't even remember what it was, but found a link to all of Agco's paint tech sheets, plus the part numbers for all of the paint colors. Here it is incase someone else needs to know. http://www.rudolphbrosinc.com/partsguides/agcopartspaintguide.pdf Also I won't know until I actually spray it and compare, but DuPont RS562 looks to be almost an exact match to Agco's maroon paint in the rattle cans. |

When I was looking for the maroon codes this is what I found. I never did end up having it mixed up so take it for what it's worth; http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:tZr5styOm0gJ:paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcodedisplay.cgi%3Fstyle%3Dprint%26martin%3D3426%26sort%3Dmanuf%26page%3D1%26rows%3D100%26size%3Dlarge+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us" rel="nofollow - http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:tZr5styOm0gJ:paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcodedisplay.cgi%3Fstyle%3Dprint%26martin%3D3426%26sort%3Dmanuf%26page%3D1%26rows%3D100%26size%3Dlarge+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

| Last time I bought some Agco paint I also got some hardener with it. It is Valspar renew low voc hardener, number REN4001. The can says 8 parts paint 1 part hardener. Just painted some wheel weights and it worked every well. I also used the appropriate reducer. |

enamel reducer or acetone will work as a thinner. I would NOT use laqueer thinner. That is for laqueer paints or cleanup. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

I believe anything with harder or activator in it is bad news and should only use it with a fresh air source or if you like to take a chance you can use it outside and stay upwind of the overspray. ------------- 1957 WD45 dad's first AC 1968 one-seventy 1956 F40 Ferguson |

All of them, some worse than others. If you're painting just wear a mask, your family will thank you. |
