Since I do auto body work on the side, I've had a few guys ask me about painting a tractor, but none have ever come through. I suspect most of those are the guys that just want you to run it through the car wash, squirt some paint at it instead of doing a top-notch job, and then tell the whole county what a lousy job you did. Or they want to do the prep work, have you paint it over their half-azzed prep work, and then tell everyone what a lousy job you did.
Most of the fellows I know that have nicely restored tractors did all the work themselves, including learning to paint, simply because they enjoy doing it.

Don't mean to sound negative, but unless there's sentimental value, very few people are going to spend $8,000 to wind up with a $5,000 tractor.
