I would like to put a very high quality paint job on a 1951 H. However, I'm new to painting and, probably just as important, I'm new to surface preparation prior to paint. Anyhow, I was wondering if the experts here would please give some advice on the proper method for surface preparation and painting on a tractor. One of the bigger questions in my mind is the sandblasting of the tin and the castings. The tractor runs pretty well so I would rather not take it apart. However, I can just imagine a sandblaster could really do some damage to these components by putting sand in places that it shouldn't be. Is there a good way to mask off vital areas such as gaskets, seals, bearings, etc? Furthermore, the tin has some rust pits. I was thinking that the only way to smooth that out would be to sandblast and surface grind the tin and then hit it with a couple layers of primer. Is this correct? Finally, on the paint side of things, would the best finish come from IH paint and then an added hardener? Would anyone have any tips and techniques for applying the paint? Sorry for being long winded. I appreciate all input and responses. Thanks,
Chad
