I will soon be restoring a 1951 M. I am planning to sandblast the frame and tin using the suggestions I read in YT as to care with doing this, avoiding certain parts such as the engine (the one suggestion I thought very helpful is to use oven cleaner to remove grease) and around any seals and am planning to paint separate attachments separately. What I would like to ask is has anyone used the "peening" process using glass beads to provide a smoother surface to paint? A professional painter near us says he will provide technical suggestions and tips to repaint it. Another question I have is: has anyone on here used the paint advertised on YT? It's considerably more expensive than that sold by Tractor Supply and Big R but I don't want to skimp on the project because I want to do it right and not have to do it again in a year or two. Also, do most of you finish the job with Clear Coat? I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.
