 Freddy, I see no one will take on your question about the 'rattle-trap spray can method'. The above '48 is also a hybrid with a '52 dash (from Palmer Fossum) and 4 gauges, '52-style embossed fenders, '49 engine, etc. Over the 23 years I have had it in the woods it has had a number of dents in the hood, fenders, grille, etc. On top of that it was always blue and gray and it was a poor runner. About a year ago someone posted a question like yours and a response was to the effect that Walmart sold a Krylon Banner Red (#2108) and Pewter Gray in spray cans that worked fine and looked good (for working tractors). They will probably make a lot of fun of you for not going acrylic enamel (especially if you dare post pictures of your machine on this forum), but for the tiny amount spent on paint, I feel the results are justified. Spent the money I saved on implements and mechanical repairs, etc. HTH BTW you might also get a dishonorable mention on a list of what not to get for your tractor for Christmas.
