Hi everyone, pretty new to the whole tractor scene. I just recently bought a 1970 ford 5000. According to people on this forum, made off with it on a great deal. However, the hood is very rusty along with the tops of the fenders and ontop of the steering/instrument cluster. This 5000 doesn't have a cab like others I've seen. But enough rambling, sorry...I don't have a sandblaster or the money for one. So I planned on using my angle grinder with a wire brush attachment and sand paper for the parts I couldn't reach easily. I also do not have a compressor big enough to handle a spray paint system. So, unless I hand paint, and from other threads I've read on here it would take more paint, how is the spray paint cans that are sold on this page? The six pack of cans. I saw them listed on the parts page. Right now I would be happy just sanding it and painting it with primer. My main worry is the damage the rust is doing. The sheet metal is pretty solid. It's not deeply rusted or pitted right now but I want to get it before it does. Spray paint I can buy, new sheet metal is a little more expensive lol
