best paint for machine restoration?
I'm looking for a good paint for my old rockford lathe restoration. I want it to hold up to oil, trim-sol coolant, ect..
I'm assuming a 2 part paint is best, right?
Any brand/models would be greatly appreciated. If i can get it through somewhere local, that'd be great.
Thanks in advance!

Here's My favorite, Ace Hardware Rust Stop Enamel on a gear shaper after 10 years of steel chips and chlorinated cutting oils. It's even better if you put a hardner in it, and they will custom mix colors for you.

I use a quick drying oil base enamil. Brushes on real nice, and leaves a good finnish.

get thyself down to the local auto body paint supplier.he will mix the exact color that you want and also in any of several formulations (enamel,clear coat-base coat) and will also supply proper primers etc.also look for some of the two part paints..extremely tough. stay away from some of the exotics though,you may find them quite toxic.reat place for advice.ps this can be quite expensive but will last a long long time.I do all my old equipment like this now and stay away from tremclad type products.my .02 worth

Be careful, those auto ones can be very toxic.
I used Sherwin William's Alkyd Enamel Equipment paint. Holds up well against coolant and oil. Make sure you use a hardener though or it will take about 2 years to fully cure. (No joke, 2 years, really)

He's right, I tried some and it took a month until I could handle it without leaving fingerprints in it.

If you want to go to the extra trouble a 2 part polyurethane over epoxy primer can't be beat IMHO. I used Endura on my 8520 and it came out great:

Here's their site:
http://www.endura.ca/
Once this stuff is hardened nothing (including battery acid) will touch it.
As suggested though the two parts are quite toxic and you should really have a proper place to spray it if you go that route. Pretty sure they have formulas that brush well too.

DuPont Imron is insanely tough. Normal application: Aircraft paint. It withstands several hundred hours immersion in heated Skydrol (aviation hydraulic fluid) with only a minor loss of surface gloss and hardness.

Imron is also insanely hazardous and isn't the paint to be used by a rookie without proper respiration equipment.
Vote for Duron Alkyd Enamel.

Yup, the Endura I mentioned is similar to Imron, but about 1/2 the price. Don't think it's too much to worry about if it's brushed, ventilation is your friend of course..

I am just finishing up a paint job on my band saw. I used a 'single stage' epoxy with hardener and I am not too happy with the way this paint works. I would have used acrylic enamel with hardener or Imron had I known the piss poor coverage. I bough this stuff because the maker claims it flows out using a brush or roller. After three trys with a brush and roller I color sanded it and shot a tack coat let it sit and sprayed a wet coat. It still needs more paint to cover some areas.
I wanted to avoid spraying the saw so I sought out a paint that was brushable, I don't know what the standards are for brushed finish but it was well below my standards. After using this I would hearly recomend skipping the 'friendly' paints and go directly to an auto paint supply and buy something I know works.

Plain old Valspar Tractor and Implement (I think it's an oil based enamel) paint applied with a brush will give good results if you prep the part to be painted well enough.

Any more hazardous than most auto paints?
I have all the neccesary painting equipment needed to spray, and i've sprayed a few cars in my past, but i'm still on the fence there. I think i might brush it on to get a thicker coat, and to be a little lighter on the mess. I guess it all depends on how good my body filler job comes out.

I just painted my 1964 Bridgeport with PPG Deltron base coat/clear coat. I power sanded most of the machine base as it was in great condition having been properly reconditioned in the early 1990's. The head was from an older machine and had been poorly painted about 6 times. I stripped the head with chemical stripper to bare metal and used the same heavy (catalyzed) primer I use on car restorations. Lots of sanding and then the final catalyzed auto paint on top. A pint of color was $57. I probably spent $100 with the clear and catalysis but it looks as good as my custom sports car! Catalyzed car paints are good with mild solvents and can be touched up if necessary. No, I didn't buff it out.

Looks great! That's funny, my friend commented that i should paint it to match my mustang, which is the same deltron base and clear (but black) with a House of Kolors Red Apple Kandy from the body line up. I thought about just going to pick up a quart or 2 of basic single stage auto paint.

Mottling
Description: Unique to metallic paints. Concentrations of metallic flakes in the paint film. Identification A cloudy or blotchy appearance. Probable Cause Improper equipment: type of gun, size of nozzle Improper gun settings Incorrect spray technique: - Holding spray gun too close to surface - Uneven spray pattern - Application too heavy Wrong thinner/reducer for shop temperature Component 'A' and Component 'B' not thoroughly mixed Remedy
Prevention
Basecoat / Topcoat Sealer Primer Substrate
Sand smooth Repaint Correct gun set-up: - Decrease nozzle tip size - Increase air pressure to provide more atomization - Decrease fluid pressure in pressure pot Proper selection of solvent for shop conditions - In cold conditions use fast solvent - In hot conditions use slow solvent Use a Hi-Hide Basecoat followed by Clear 221 Use correct technique for applying metallic paints Apply final coat as a mist coat
Page 11
No Hold Out
Description: The primer or sealer not withstanding the solvent from the topcoat. Identification Coating has lost gloss Sandscratches or other substrate flaws show through the paint film Probable Cause Unstable substrate Wrong sandpaper grit - too coarse Primer oversanded Primer uncured No sealer was used on aged or spot primed finishes Remedy
Prevention
Sand smooth Use sealer if necessary Repaint Use urethane, polyester, or epoxy fillers and Endura primers Use sealer if uncertain about substrate stability Follow Endura's recommendations for sanding Use Endura Super Catalyst II as recommended Allow sufficient flash-off times between primer and topcoats Allow a longer flash-off time between coats
Basecoat / Topcoat Sealer Primer Substrate
Page 12
Orange Peel
Description: Dry paint film has a dimpled surface. Identification Paint finish looks like the peel of an orange Probable Cause Viscosity too high Gun air pressure too low (causing lack of atomization) Primer or sealer applied not smooth Wrong thinner/reducer Incorrect spray technique: - Holding gun too far from surface - Wide fan patterns Wrong amount of thinner or reducer used - not enough Poor quality sanding Remedy
Prevention

Page 15
Sandscratch Swelling
Description: Usually occurs when painting over repair work. Sanding scratches in the previous layer swell through the paint film. Identification Swollen scratch lines that follow the direction of sanding Unusual light reflections Probable Cause Improper surface preparation Primer not allowed to dry thoroughly Insufficient flash-off time between coats Original finish incompatible with Endura products Excessive primer film build Remedy
Prevention
Sand smooth Apply sealer Repaint Proper surface preparation: check recommended sandpaper grits Finish any polyester type filler with a finer grit sandpaper Completely seal porous substrates (sealer eliminates sandscratch swelling) Follow recommended primer film thickness Allow sufficient flash-off time between coats
Basecoat / Topcoat Sealer Primer Substrate
Page 16
Slow Drying
Description: Coating does not cure within the usual time frame. Probable Cause Wrong amount of “B” component used - too little or too much Insufficient flash-off time between coats Poor drying conditions: drying area too cool Solvent too slow Incorrect spray technique: - Application too heavy Remedy
Prevention

Basecoat / Topcoat Sealer Primer Substrate
Page 17
Solvent Popping
Description: Small blisters or bumps on the paint film surface. Identification Smooth blisters or bumps, some may have popped and appear as cratering Usually occurring on horizontal surfaces Probable Cause Improperly cured polyester fillers Incorrect spray technique: - Application of the primer too heavy - Coating applied too dry Insufficient flash-off or drying time between coats Wrong thinner/reducer used Too much flash-off time before force drying Baking temperature too high Excessive use of Super Catalyst II Remedy
Prevention
Basecoat / Topcoat Sealer Primer Substrate
Minor problem: - Sand smooth - Apply sealer - Repaint Major problem: - Remove finish - Repaint Ensure polyester type fillers are fully cured before priming Completely seal porous substrates Use correct solvent for conditions - slow solvent for hot conditions Follow recommended film build thickness Allow sufficient flash-off time between coats Flash-off time of 5-10 minutes before forced drying
Page 18
Water Spotting
Description: Patches of whitish discolouration on the paint film. Identification Patchy areas may be: - Slightly indented - Dull, not glossy - Cloudy, whitish Probable Cause Coating was exposed to moisture in the first 24 hours after painting Coating was washed before the finish was cured Remedy
Prevention
Minor problem: polish Major problem: - Sand smooth - Repaint Follow recommended cure times before washing or exposing to rain Increase spray booth temperature Use Endura Super Catalyst II in topcoats
Basecoat / Topcoat Sealer Primer Substrate
Page 19
Wrinkling
Description: The film surface skins over and then swells, forming irregular ridges and creases. Identification Paint film forms creases, folds, and slight ridges Film surface appears thick and leathery Probable Cause Solvent sensitive enamel under topcoat or primer Primer or sealer not cured thoroughly Incorrect spray technique: - Application of topcoat too heavy Wrong amount of “B” component used - too little Remedy
Prevention
Remove finish Apply sealer Repaint Check solvent sensitivity - perform a solvent rub test on existing finishes Use sealers where appropriate Allow sufficient flash-off times between coats Use correct amount of Component “B”
