Like others say, it is a matter of who does it and what you want. I did a Ford last year myself (working tractor), and I just pressure washed it really good, took off the sheet metal, hit a few spots that needed a little sanding and used rattle cans on the sheet metal, and brushed the cast using Rust-Oleum then while the cast was still wet hit it with a rattle can to flow the paint out. Probably looked as good or better than when it was new and held up good. I had roughly $100 or less in it and looks better than many I have seen at shows, but I dont worry about a scratch or two and if I do it is easy to fix. I have a Farmall C I want to do as soon as I get caught up a little and I will do it the same way. I just could not justify the $$ into an automotive job with clear coat, etc, but that is just my 2 cents as it will get scratched either way.
