[Farmall] Paint Questions

[barry miller]

i just finished painting an "M" in the spring. Be sure the tractor is dry and use a self etching primer. I also used IH red paint the tractor looks really good. Best of luck.

To the group:

My boy and I have stripped down a Farmall 'H', with intention of painting 
(possibly Labor Day weekend).

We have sandblasted and wire brushed the majority of it. We used some paint 
stripper on the hood sections.

The tires are still on the rims, but are off the wheels. The tractor is 
sitting on blocks on the
wheels. Getting the rim clamps off proved to be quite an experience. Some 
of the bolts had
to be drilled out and torched out.

I have read different sources about painting, but wanted to get some input 
from the group.
This is going to be our first by ourselves.

Any suggestions on de-greasing, cleaning (laquer thinner?), priming, and 
paint types. We have a CaseIH dealer close, so I do have a source for red 
paint. We have seen a video from J+D Productions on painting but are just 
looking for more suggestions.

Thanks in advance.
