paint it or leave it old.......

Posted by dave2 on April 30, 2012 at 00:23:35 from (79.240.133.246):

I got a feeling about the answer already but let's hear it.....

My tractor will never be a show tractor and it'll spend most of it's life muddy and dirty....

Neighbor kid that rebuilt and sold it to me and bails me out on repair problems wants to paint it...

My idea was to juggle spare time and clean/brush and/or roll on paint after straightening as best as possible and fixing a couple rust spots......

His is pressure wash, wire wheel, rust repair, and spray primer and paint. His will take a weekend or couple evenings and not be a perfect job with a little overspray, runs (?), and orange peel (??). Mine will take a lifetime and have orange peel and maybe a couple runs.....

Let him do it and have it look better than it does now and preserve it better, or hold out on my rountuit while it keeps rusting and fading?????
