The new Krylon Cherry Red has real problems in the new Cover Maxx line, we don't recommend it for the tractors at all. It doesn't have a good shine and the color went darker.


We talked to Krylon and it is a new mix. Krylon sent me several samples that just showed up and we will give them a try and let you guys know what happens.

I'm interested to test the Industrial Acryli-Quick. It is Lacquer.

Did the can look like one of the reds in the front of this pic?

You have the Super Maxx, we have some of that to try out here and it's supposed to be pretty good. How do you like it Kurt?

The problem paint is the Cover Maxx, in the can with the red label, or usually has the color of the paint on the label.

Cleanup is the reason we're doing what we're doing now. If I ever get the paint booth emptied out we will more than likely switch to a red automotive single stage urethane. That could be who knows when though.
