I like to pressure wash then use a wire brush on a grinder to remove any loose paint then rewash. Sheet metal is sanded and primed. I also prefer to prime the rear wheels on Deere tractors as John Deere yellow does not seem to cover very well or if on a budget I paint the yellow with Rustolium Deere yellow then use a top coat of Deere yellow. When painting a Deere I paint the yellow first then use a spray can to paint the dash,started and metal around the lights then wait a day or two and tape up yellow and black before painting green. When painting do often end up with a few runs and I see every flaw as I am painting but when finished rarely do any stand out. I paint work tractors and not show tractors.I have also done a few quickie paint jobs where a good wash job and very little else was done and have had good results as well.Sometimes you do not have the time,money,resources or skills to do a perfect job so an ok job to me is better than nothing at all and you can always redo it a few years from now. Last spring our one 3020 was in the shop for a clutch and my son talked me into a less than perfect paint job but it is a 100% improvement over what it was. Tom
