First of all, I am no painter or expert by any means but have painted about 22 tractors over the last 3-4 years and should be much better than this. This is the first time (well second, as it happened the last time I painted) that this has happened to me. Usually I will just steam-wash the tractor well, hand sand some places and sheetmetal with paper or a palm sander, wire wheel the cast iron, wipe with lacquer thinner, wash with soap and water, then paint.
