silver rim paint again?
It's time to do the rims on my Super A.
Once I get them cleaned up, what paint do you all recommend for them?
I am having a "pro" paint the rest of the tractor with Dupont Nasson 2K. I had thought about having him do it, but the rims aren't perfect--there's no rustout but the bead edges in a couple places are bent slightly because of encounters with stumps, etc. over the years. It's nothing to make it dangerous to mount a tire, and doesn't look bad unless you get down there with a magnifying glass. But down the line I might replace them with a better set and so I hate to spend big bucks to paint them now. However. I don't want to use crappy paint on the rims and spoil the restoration.
If I can find a good quality paint in a spray can, that is what I would really like to use. Would plain ol' argent silver from caseIH be just as good or is there something better?
thanks,
Al

Donny's Thread
I used ZRC Cold Galv. on the rims first, then sprayed them with Dupli-Color Silver. Both paints were in rattle cans.
and
The manifold was painted with Premium Decor High Heat Spray #PD-1550 Aluminum, also in rattle can.
The other answer is the CaseIH Silver as CB said
Hope this helps

silver rim paint
AL,
I TOOK A BODY HAMMER AND DOLLY AND STRAIGHTENED THE RIM-EDGE ON MY CUB. YOU CAN'T TELL THERE WAS EVER A BEND IN IT. DEPENDING ON THE SEVERITY, YOU MAY HAVE TO USE A LITTLE HEAT. AFTERWARDS, I USED MY 4-INCH ELECTRIC GRINDER WITH A ROPE-STEEL WIRE WHEEL AND VIRTUALLY REMOVED ALL RUST AND PAINT. BECAUSE OF THE AREA THAT NEEDED PAINT, ESPECIALLY THE REAR RIMS, I USED A SPRAY GUN WITH A SMALL COMPRESSOR. SINCE YOU HAVE INVESTED IN A PRO PAINTER, SEE HOW MUCH MORE HE WOULD CHARGE FOR THE RIMS IF YOU DID THE PREP WORK. I WOULD SUGGEST DO IT ONCE, DO IT RIGHT.

I found a silver that I think emulates a galvanized look pretty well. It's a Silver acrylic enamel PPG Omni brand for the Cheverolet Camaro. I wet sand, then clear coat for shine and UV protection.
If anyone wants the code I can get it when I get home this weekend.

Oh well! get the air brush out.

I would be more concerned with the Firestones on the rear. I haven't noticed anything different about ride or handling with any of the traction tires I have had on Scruffy's front axle, but the original '49 Firestone rears I have really shake the bejeebers out of things. I keep them on a Cub that never runs on pavement.
Right now, they're on my unfinished '57 plowing tractor.

the ones on Missy aren't firestones, but are also very old and a similiar tread design. There is no danger of going to sleep wehn driving them on a hard surface. I don't know if it's the tread pattern, of if it's the age of the rubber, or a combination.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!

George. The old Firestones on my '48 are suppose to be original with the tractor (as per P.O.) If they're not, they sure look it. They work nice cutting grass as the tread is not deep enough to rut-up the lawn very much. Also, WHEN I get a set of snow chains, figure they will work nice with the worn tread..........
Hate posting this pic on the "Silver Rim Paint" discussion
