Preparing to Paint

[ View Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Return to Tractor Talk ]

Posted by RED on July 12, 1998 at 12:06:33:

I'm looking to repaint an old rusty tractor. If I want to do it right, what are the steps I should take. Do I sandblast it? What do I use for a primer and final coat (final color Farmall Red)? How many coats of paint do I put on it? What are the major watchouts?
