50$ paint job using : majic tractor paint / single stage

[@Shade_tree_garage01]

honestly Majic is a very nice paint, and applying a clear over it deepens the shine of it, I actually used Majic's white tractor paint on my 1986 c10's rims and they're still bright white and shiny after nearly 10 years, they are actually a very quality tough enamel paint, and id trust it to last longer than a cheap Base/clear system. infact it has lasted longer than the OMNI system i used on my C10

In the 80s my dad was an industrial painter. He painted farm equipment. A few times he snuck in a car for side hustle money 😂 as long as they wanted their car to be red 😂

[@silvercommander]

He later on worked in dealership autobody shops and a privately owned body shop.

I've used it on 3 tractors for my dad ...just sprayed it but didn't add the hardner . It looked good for couple years but it fades when in sun daily . A clear coat on it would probably help but even new tractors fade after few years

💯 I’ve got several projects I’ve painted with Rustoleum then SMR-42. They stay outside 24/7/365 and no issues after 3+ years. They look like the day I painted them.

[@Chris_Paul1]

Came out really good. That coverage was great for red. I just touched up a few things on my car in red. I Needed at least 3 coats before it even looked like getting coverage.

I’ve always found 3 coats of primer, color and clear to be best. Anytime I cut corners I regretted it

[@2StallGarage]

I’ve painted whole cars with this stuff. Looks great when it’s wet, not the best once it’s dry, and it fades, even with the hardener.

I always harassed you to spray rustoleum. You did great with it when you dod the celica. But the magic enamel actually has an oil based enamel hardener that work good. I've sprayed motorcycle tanks with that stuff, then just spray max 2k clear over it. It holds up!

Hi, I've got gallon of the speedokote high build primer, just wanting to know if I can use Rust-Oleum as a guide coat or fill in over bondo work ?
