You're on the wrong board. Go over to the paint and bodywork forum. They will get you going. Talk to your friends and tell them what you are doing. Someone knows someon who should be willing to help you along. Stop by your local body shop around closing time and shoot the bull with the guys there. Get a few books on painting from the local body supply houses. It's now rocket science but there are lots of things you should do in the prep stage that can make a HUGE difference. The old bodyman's saying that 'paint can't hide anything' is the basic premise in your prepwork. It's just me , but there's nothing I hate to see worse than a horrible paint job. I just think, all he did was change the color of this thing, what with the paint over the grease, rust and dents.

Those guys on the paint and bodywork forum don't want to talk about anything that doesn't cost at least $100 a gallon or more. I have achieved excellent results with the IH 2150. I buy it in quarts and apply it with a brush on the cast iron parts, and use the IH 2150 in rattle cans for the sheet metal.

hey guys...i don't usually stop here at the farmall forum but the post title here caught my eye and i sure am glad i looked. i'm thinking about rebuilding my to-20 and have been wondering how i'd go about painting it without beeing embarrassed about not using high dollar paints and hardners and all, or having top o' the line sprayers and compressors and everything else that goes along with them. it's good to know that not everyone feels the need to put a "showroom" finish on their tractor. i wouldn't want one anyway because i actually USE my machinery. i do have a small compressor and a cheap paint gun and have used it pretty successfully on a couple implements i've cleaned up a little and sprayed, mostly to keep the rust off. i use rustoleum rust primer on them and then hit them with a coat or two of rustoleum color, and they hold up very well for me. and now that i know i'm not the only one that thinks it's fine to just get a nice coat of color on your tractor, i won't be embarrased to talk about it anymore either! i do find that using my cheap little paint gun and compressor is a lot faster and easier than the rattle can method when i'm painting something large. i "think" i get a more even coating also, but i have nothing against anyone that brushes or rattle-cans their stuff. and i'm glad to know there are more like me out there. thanks guys!

I forgot the grille being yellow. Sure does look nice. I think the yellow sets off the red. They're calling for snow on Monday thru Tuesday.
I fired up the blower just in case. Sure starts easy with that 120 volt starter. Hal
