My Farmall M is being painted in the spring... All the sheet metal parts are being sandblasted, primed, etc..
My neighbor who runs a body shop/painting business said when doing the cast parts of the tractor the only prep necessary (after a thorough steam cleaning) is to use a scotch brite pad (by hand) and the just rough up the surface. He says there is no need to remove the old paint. He says you can prime over that or use a sealer(?) first, then paint with a hardener...
Does this sound right?
