My Jubilee's in good shape and pretty much stock except for the Zenith carb I put on and the spin on oil filter adapter. I was thinking of painting it when I rebuilt the steering but didn't have the time then. But now I'm at the point where the only thing left to do is paint. Probably replace the wiring while I have it tore apart.Hoods in good shape. Fenders are rotten in a few places, enough so I figured I order some new ones. I notice you can order them with the raised letters or plain. Plain's cheaper. Any thoughts? I don't own a sprayer and noticed there's a bunch of different kinds... gravity feed, can underneath, etc. What do you use? As far as prep I figured I'd power wash it, sandblast, wipe down with spirits, prime, bondo some dings, sand and seal it, sand, paint a few coats. I ordered a gallon of gray and red online that's supposed to be the original colors also a set of emblems. Figured that should be enough. The can says to thin with TP47 (I'm not looking at the can right now so I might have that wrong). What do you use? The motor's making me think though. Since it gets hot I question whether the paint I bought will stand up. I can buy high temp enamel in Ford red from the local parts store but I don't know if that red matches the red tractor paint. The guy at the parts store said most people don't prime a motor when using the hi temp paint. If anyone has a link to some good online instructions I'd appreciate that. Thanks, Mike
