CNKS: Thanks! I have read a good deal of your painting posts and value your input. You are probably right in saying that rust was painted over. The hood, grill, and tank do not hint at having rust entrapment. I will sand, and epoxy seal those pieces. The fenders are another story. These are pitted. The W-9's fender surfaces are about 1/4 acre square in area so sanding these off will take until Easter. I'll strip and blast these. The drive train castings and wheel centers are just plain butt-ugly with respect to how they were cleaned and prepared--lumpy looking and no lustre. I would be neat to just drive the whole tractor thru a blast bin and get it over with. My brothers and I are starting a Farmall website. I have copied and saved a few or your painting tips especially the ones that reference proper IH paint colors and paint quality. I wanted this info because we three are embarking on painting of a 504, 460, 400 (soon to be a 450), the W-9, a Regular, and possibly an H. With your permission, I would like to post some of your info on our website.
