Anyone used Valspar Tractor and Implement Paint on trailer frames, tongue boxes, etc?

Have used several brands including Valspar. This stuff is all but bullet proof. All 4 trailer frames are painted with it. Also the barn build ( Massey Ferguson Red) and the caboose ( Kabota orange) have all the wood exterior covered with it. I love the look and durability of it.

Even the white trim on the caboose is tractor paint (Ford White I think :thinking: )

Okay. Seemed like an appropriate product to get a matched look on frame, box, and fenders. I'm thinking Oliver Green...

My favorite color is the Massey-Ferguson Gray; I never seem to be able to find it offered when I buy cars, though. I've come close a coupla times, but found the exact MF gray at Tractor Supply for my trailer (never considered another color).108386

We used Valspar Tractor and Implement Paint to paint the Zollinger. 6 years later it's still holding up great. Our son who does bodywork and painting for a living painted it for us. He did thin down the paint to get it through the sprayer.
