We have an old 2N that is my wife's favorite tractor. It's simple and low to the ground. It's the only tractor that she feels safe on.
She also likes the blue of newer ford tractors.
The tinwork is in good shape on this tractor; so it doesn't need any patches, and there is just a little bit of surface rust.
My garage isn't a body shop, but is it reasonable to assume that I could clean up the rust, rough up the old paint and recoat with high quality Ford Blue in a spray can?
I can live with a finish that doesn't reflect like a mirror, cut I would at least like to keep rust bubbles from popping up for a few years anyway.
Any recommendations?
If there was any step that you would "outsource", what would it be? For instance, is sand blasting so much better at cleaning up before painting that I should just have somebody sandblast for me?
