Since I am currently restoring the rims on my ferguson to-20 I figured I'd give a review of majic paint that is now carried by tsc. So far I have applied majic primer to two parts and while it gives good coverage and seems to lay down well it is ridiculously thick out of the can I had to thin it more than the directions stated in order to get good spray consistency from it on top of that the primer had a huge lump of material just sitting on the bottom of the can it took me nearly 20 minute just to get it all mixed back up.
For your reference I am a novice painter and am using the primer in quart cans. My spray equipment is the devilbis starting line series of guns which always work well and are come rely cleaned after each use.
In all I am so far fairly impressed with majic products.
I will update this thread when I apply the actual paint and compare it with the valspar that I have used previously with will also be used to paint the center of the rims since I have a half gallon of mf red in the valspar left over from a couple of years ago.

Old Binks # 7

I have been admiring the paint line you're talking about at TSC. The pricing, I thought, was pretty reasonable as compared to say a Sherwin-Williams product and the line looked comprehensive enough for a someone like me who wants perfect results but usually has to settle for something less. I'm going to try it when the opportunity arises.

I mostly use an old technology BINKS #7 spray gun, although I have also had an HVLP sprayer in the shop. The 7 has been around for over 60 years (my dad helped me spray my 1940 Ford with the gun I am still using. (I was 16 then and I'm 66 now). Parts as well as new units are still available today. They were, for years, the workhorse of the auto respray industry and just about any other production facility that used a hand held spray gun. They will handle all sorts of paint from water based acrylic to lacquers and anything in between. One of the great, all time products of American engineering.

This is TSC Majic paint, Massey Red, TSC Hardener and reducer from NAPA.

Applied with a HF HVLP $12 gun.

No primer, clean, wire brush, paint.

I bought one of those HF HVLPs too! Haven't tried it yet though. I liked the idea of the throw away paint cups, the Binks requires careful cleaning after use.

Well so far I got one coat of paint on the rim I mixed the paint, hardener, reducer at 6:1 according to the mixing cups I got from work and the first coat looks good its going to be scuffed up a bit and get 2 more coats for a total of three coats but so far the majic paint seems to be a pretty good deal now I'm just wondering how bad it will fade from being in the sun

Red is notorius for fading, at least the old formulas. Maybe Majic red won't be so bad, anyway it happens slowly, so you almost can't notice it, like an old barn falling down

Yeah the mf red i have in valspar that I used to give the fenders a quick coat a few years ago has faded but still will shine up nicely with some good wax and a buffer
