Macdon Background Info
About Macdon Paint
Macdon paint is built for hard work on the farm. Most of these machines, like the Swather, use a very tough industrial finish that can handle heat, dirt, and heavy use. While older models often used a single-stage paint that might fade in the sun, newer machines use a hard clearcoat to keep them looking shiny for longer.
Application Tips
This paint is thicker than what you find on a standard car, so it covers metal very well. When you spray or brush it on, it stays in place, but you should still watch out for drips if you go too heavy. It dries into a strong shell, making it perfect for fixing chips on the body or the header.
Quick Summary
- Paint Feel: Hard. This paint is very durable and takes a bit more effort to sand down than regular car paint.
- Best Advice: Since these are farm machines, grease is your biggest enemy. Wash the area with a strong cleaner twice to make sure the new paint sticks.
- Pro Tip: If you are using Macdon Red or Yellow, always use a primer first so the bright colors look solid and deep.
