I'm in the process of restoring a 51 Cub. The sheet metal has been re-painted at some point. All of the sheet metal, fuel tank, engine cover, fenders etc have evidence of streaks and drips/runs. In order to do the job right I believe I will need to remove the paint down to the sheet metal. Is there a solution that I can apply that will make quick work of the removal or are we talking about good old elbow grease. I'd also appreciate advice on the best source for the correct paint from both a restoration and durability/hardness standpoint.
Thanks,
Don

If you don't have a sand blaster an angle grinder with a wire brush cup and some paint stripper will work. Let the paint stripper take off what it can and finish it off with the wire brush on the grinder. Depending on your bugdet the Iron Guard paint from Case IH is pretty good but if you can afford it an automotive urethane paint is much better. The Iron Gaurd paint is about $35 a gallon and PPG Omni line single stage urethane is about $80 a gallon, a gallon should be plenty to paint a Cub. Here is a picture of our 706 painted with the Omni single stage urethane.
