Painting Carlton TRX 7015

[AAASTUMPSERVICE]

First off this is a ton off work! So far I've pressure washed, degreased, pressure washed again, wiped down with solvent. 95% of the grease is off.

Masking still in work, I had to take a break it's a pain in the butt to mask/tin foil all the hoses, wires on and under the motor.

I have to pull a few more rubber debris guards and complete the masking. Should be painted mid week. Very excited!

I will update when complete.

Anyone on here repaint their machine? Got some pictures?

I once painted a fire truck with a foam roller.

I touched mine up last year. I found a matching automotive paint that is sure cheaper the carltons.

Carlton uses DuPont Imron paint. This paint is expensive but durable.

Hope this helps!

I used Nason paint. Might have spelled it wrong. It's made by dupont too I believe

Looking good. Waiting for "after" pics.

I have painted a lot of equipment and never thought of using aluminum foil. Great idea !!!

I use a combination of tin foil and grease. Anything I can't cover with tin foil I use a paint brush to give a small protective grease coating.

I think it turned out pretty good for painting in the garage. Decals are on and now I need to buy new rubber trim/guards. I have new tracks for it but I'm going to hold off on installing those. The worn out tracks do less damage to lawns.

Nice job, that looks great!

nice, for all you guys who paint your own machines, just a helping hand, CAT sells cat yellow paint by the gallon and its like 37 bucks a gallon, super durable and turns out great

That looks really nice. How about a little more info on your painting process after the cleaning and masking? I have a large 3 pt snowthrower I'd like to paint along with some other equipment, but not really experienced with painting metal. Assuming you skipped the foam roller, did you use a gun or just brush? Do you prime with anything? Any kind of sealer or top coat/finish?

I always have visions of whatever I do peeling off almost as fast as I get it on there.

I have a vermeer sc252 , it was getting rusty in spots I sanded it (random orbital) primed it and used vermeer spray can paint. The vermeer paint is awsome. I should have done more sanding to get the old paint off though. It looked pretty crappy even though I spent quite a bit of time on it.
