No one will paint, How sad

Posted by A Man on October 16, 2001 at 05:22:37 from (66.84.170.30):

When I was 14-15 I used an old Farmall A to get to my uncles farms to help them on the farms, This same tractor was my mothers 1st on the home farm. I recently purchased this "41 - A" and want to restore it for my mothers birthday next year, she will be 75. Problem is now that the mechanicals are all done, along with all new rubber, I can't find a body shop within 40 miles who will paint it, there reason is we don't do tractors! I want this tractor to be better then new, Have even thought about using some pearl in the upper portion to give it some "shimmer". All the trim is being done in Brass, Exhaust stack, steering shaft, front steering links, air stack. You get the point.... I even offered one person whatever it would cost so he would not loose a nickle..... He refused!!!!? I understand their point, so have decided to paint it myself. I thought that in this small Wi town I would not have a problem, where you go to the IH dealer and they call you by name, or when you walk into any buisness and they call you by name. Is it that hard to find people to paint your rigs elsewhere in the US? Thanks
