If anyone has painted your A-C’s did you use the OEM paint. I’m learning Valspar is the paint mfg. And it’s not a true acrylic enamel, rather a “ modified synthetic with acrylics added. (Agco spec sheet) But what I’m actually asking if you used the Agco paint, what brand/product description hardener did you use? Did you use Agco’s Renew 3001 or ??? For example PPG DU 5 . Thanks

I have used the Renew 3001 that is recommended for it. Only place I could find it was a CaseIH dealer.

Using Tisco paint and hardener. Not sure if these are the same as the Valspar?

Does the AGCO paint hold up as good as Dupont or Nason?

valspar hardner works good with any imp' paint' use enamel reducer for thinner. all that mineral spirits' thinner is junk; it has oil in it 'no good an takes to long to dry.
