I wish they didn't even need paint- I could just oil everything. Never 'over restore'. Nothing we have will every end up in a Barret Jackson auction. I saw a 1930's farmall someone 'over restored'... nothing looked right for a tractor.

I power wire brush the whole thing- say a plow, make sure it is all ready to use -solid, good bolts etc, then a coat of rustoleum in whatever color. When it is done tilling a couple acres, the shares and moldboards are as shiney as ever, the paint isn't 'fresh' anymore, and the world can sleep soundly once again...
