[Farmall] Restoration

I have worked for manufactures of Eq for 35+ years. Also had paint experience in 
college. Bottom line is do it once and right. My favorite College Prof 
said- "Bring it up to a shine and get out of there"! Prep is 99% of the job. In 
the business they talk about Mils that's 1/1000 of an inch. More paint does not 
make a good finish. When I did my A I did have some touch up but not much.
