Its all in what you want to to do. I hand sanded and primed all the sheet metal and gas tank on my M then a buddy of mine shot the paint (Van Sycle(?) impliment with hardner). It ran about $65. I then brush painted the castings and the rims (after many, many hours of sanding and cleaning). I didn't paint the engine except for the oil and air filter covers, with all the grease cleaned off it looked like new anyway. The engine ran fine so I didn't screw with it other then pulling the valve cover to check the lash and pull the oil pan to clean the sludge. For about $175 (including decal set) I got a very presentable tractor. Some guys would go nuts about the kind of paint or using a brush, but as a weekend warrior it looks very sharp. I was lucky that the sheet metal was in very shape with just a lot of fade and only one previous aftermarket paint job to remove. When its not being used its in a shed so the paint I put on should look good for a decade or more.
