Paints for agricultural machinery

Tractors and other agricultural machinery are widely used today in industrial agriculture to replace the oxen and the unfortunate donkeys, which we enslaved for a few thousand years and which did not require industrial paint to gear. This paint now covers our entire fleet of agricultural machinery.

The painting of agricultural machinery is not specific, as it is possible to use a variety of economical and high-performance paint on these usually metallic surfaces. Farmers invest substantial sums in their tractor, but they don't care much about the personalization and aesthetic appearance of their machinery, which is above all a work tool.

The role of the paints is to preserve the machine, that is to say that they form an effective protection against abrasion, stones, earth and bad weather, gnawing humidity the metal.

Which paint for agricultural machinery to choose ?

If you are equipped with a gun and a compressor, and you want to reach your tractor, then we recommend an industrial or agricultural type paint delivered with its thinner, which will allow a of optimal quality with a finish much more than acceptable. BesaVal, Urkinox are economical references, applicable to the gun and which are perfectly suitable for the different surfaces of machinery and agricultural machinery.

Depending on everyone's budget, it is possible to select higher-end paints, with also higher prices : we are talking about polyurethane acrylics, which will create ultra-hard, ultra-shiny and ultra-resistant painted surfaces.

Is it useful to apply a primer ?
If the surface to be painted is really scratched and you want to obtain a new, smooth and perfect surface, sometimes with the aim of reselling the agricultural machine, then yes, it is highly recommended to use a filling primer.
Similarly, if the surface is bare metal, following sandblasting or abrasive sanding, then it is necessary to use a metal primer, but most farm machinery paints do not have one need because they grip effectively and directly on the metal.

The new plastic surfaces of agricultural machinery

The same thing happens in the automotive or motorcycle world, that is to say that most parts are no longer made of metal, for economic reasons, or perhaps according to other hidden motives : the manufacturer would be more interested in selling the complete part, rather than allowing repair, dent removal and painting.
But know that Stardust is a specialist in painting on plastic : if you have an agricultural machine with a plastic body, it is perfectly possible to promote grip and repaint with the original colors identical.
