[Farmall] Paint

[Bill "Bear" Hood]

We had a Cat 22 at our show this weekend that has been in the owners family for 3 generations.  He carefully cleaned and prepped this tractor and put a really good brush job on it.  He did use an additive from a speciality paint supplier that made it a brushable paint.  I would have challenged anyone to find a paint brush mark/stroke anywhere on it.  But the owner did say he would never do it again as it was very time consuming and tedious.

Painting over dents; runs, orange peel, painting over grease. All or any of
those shows a lack of concern or skill.
  Amateur is actually a word used to denote person who does not get PAID for
his service, as opposed to a "pro" who does. No reason why an "amateur"
couldn't do a better job than a pro, in fact much better as he is NOT
working by the hour. I probably spent over 20 hours getting an M grill ready
for paint. No one would pay a pro to do that.  Weld, braze, recut radiator
hole, Hammer/dolly, power sand to bare metal, blast inside, metal prep, etch
primer, fill, sand, epoxy prime, sand, spot fill, sand, surfacer prime sand,
seal. Get the picture?

Gordo.

How bad does a paint job have to be for the seller to call it amateur?
