I am sure this topic has been cover many
times over. I was wondering if anyone has
any tips for painting hardware that will
have to go back on a tractor when doing a
new paint job?
I am in the process of restoring a tractor, a complete paint job. So alot of the parts were taken off sandblasted then repainted and now have to be reassembled or put back on. As of now any bolts and nuts that were going to be reused, I cleaned them up with a wire wheel on a bench grinder, some got sandblasted, and then wire wheeled. After that I stick them in some cardboard and while painting other parts. Prime and paint the hardware as well. The problem is when reinstalling them the paint chips or comes off on some or off a corner and so on. No matter how carefully I am while installing them. So then I have been going back with a artist brush and a little paint mixed up to touch them up. So my question is does anyone have a better way to do this so as not to have to touch them up with a brush?
Thanks in advance.
