[AJD] 530 JD Restoration

[John D. Swecker]

Ken, I refinished the black dash on my 830. I first used  John Deere 
semi-gloss enamel, It took two days to dry, and when anything touched it 
much later, it showed. I then used black gloss lacquer from a spray can, 
put on several coats, then hand rubbed with rubbing compound. The result 
is a gloss black that does not show fingerprints and always looks good. 
The factory used a semi-gloss black, but  I vote gloss.    The best, 
 John D.

I have a number of reference photo's but they show different finishes, some are a gloss black, some are a flat black and others semi-gloss black. Does anyone know what the dash panels were painted when the tractors were shipped from the factory???
