I have a couple of tractors... a Ford 8n that I've had for years, and a Ford 960 that I just picked up this summer. Both of them are relatively clean, but show some surface rust here and there. I wouldn't mind touching them up a bit. Don't need a parade tractor by any means, so not a complete strip down of any sort. I'd like to touch up the rough areas, but honestly would rather leave them in their "work clothes" than do a bad touch up job with mismatched paints, etc...
I know the forums are full of little tips, tricks, and tidbits, but I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good website, book, or YouTube video that kind of walks through the process of prep and painting in detail from beginning to end for someone who doesn't have any experience with painting (but is willing to learn). Anything that you've found out there that you think would be helpful? Thanks.
