After a couple months of waiting, I am finally going to be getting my Farmall H hauled home this coming weekend (hopefully).
I want to repaint the entire tractor, but I really have no experience with painting things, especially tractors. My grandfather has painted lots of things, and he said he will help me, but I want to get some tractor specific advice.
Basically, what kind of paint and technique do you guys recommend for repainting a Farmall H? I will be repanting the sheet metal, the frame, engine, and all the small parts. I was thinking that an air compressor and a paint sprayer would be the method to use, but I really have no idea.
As for the paint brand, I have seen some paint advertised as Farmall Red, but I am not sure if that will give me the best looking tractor. I want something nice and shiny that looks original and will make the tractor look pretty. Basically, what brand and type of paint would you recommend, and what is the best way to apply the paint?
Thank you very much, this forum has been absolutely indispensable for me.
