[Farmall] Painting F-20

Fri Aug 4 09:45:04 PDT 2006

Clean! CLean!! CLEan!!! CLEAn!!!! CLEAN!!!!!  If you
want your paint to stay on you need to oil/grease
free.  The higher the quality paint the cleaner it
needs to be.  You can paint rustoleum onver
dirt/grease but Delstar (PPG) or Imron (Dupont) will
lift almost immediately.  I like to use one of the
purple degreasers.  It is sold under several brand
names but I think it is all the same stuff.  remember
that running the engine will fling oil all over.  You
can prime/paint as you go then I recommend that you
paint over everything after it is assembled.  When
painting be sure to use breathing filters.  At meast
go with a low price carbon filter.
