[AT] tractor painting training

One way is with tear offs like they use in racing on the windshield, or 
in sandblast hoods.

One of the Owners grandsons was allowed an old tractor of the Grandads to restore/paint as practice and to prove he was ready to work in the shop. I stopped by the other week and the tractor was in there. It was painted but the stickers were not on it yet, so I'm not sure what it was. That tractor was the most beautiful color red, in the highest quality finish I believe I will ever see on a tractor in my lifetime. It was stunningly beautiful. I think it was an old Massey-Ferguson but I'm not sure. I may go by there tomorrow to see what it is and take some pictures if it is still there. Knowing the Grandad, it will go right back into service on his farm. I'm gonna see if he would consider showing it a time or two before he does, though.
