[Farmall] Restoration

I took someones advise to use contrasting primer vs similar colors, big mistake! 
When the paint begins to wear or where it will get chipped the grey sticks out 
like a sore thumb.

If when you are done you find a spot you missed you can always go back and touch 
it up.

John,

Thanks for your experience with gray vs red.  I am really glad to hear that
and it help affirm my decision with using red primer.  I do plan on leaving
most of the tractor together for the painting, so I appreciate your input.

Thanks,

Jerry
