hi biggastroctor, the paint is a ppg brand calles commercial performance caotings,its a.u.e 100 (acurlic -ureithane-enamal) and is called caterpillar slate grey.never used it before but like it.i used a pot and mixed with the recommended a.u.e 100 catilist. honestly dont consider myself a good pianter but it come out? put on amost six gallons of primer sealer(same brand as paint) that's why some primer was tan, most was grey, then had to use black. they just didnt have have enough grey at that time so i used all they had considering it was wensday before thanksgiving and already blasted i didnt wont to run out on the holiday weekend,only put on 2.5 gallons of gray.have 2.5 galons left over that i can take back(5 g. bucket) thanks for all the complements happy to talk about it or answner questions. lane

lanes,

i just painted my 60 prior to Christmas and I think we used the same paint. I didn't actually paint it but did much of the prep work. the Painter liked the paint. Use 4 gallons. Got my canopy from George too, but i did not get the side curtains. He's a great guy

Great job she looks good , but the tracks might be pointing the wrong way (back to front) early plates had the grousers at the back, later ones the grouser is forward, but your tracks look fitted backwards, I might be wrong??? plus you might like them this way, its your tractor you have them any way you like
