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! -mike
