I like to use the oven cleaner and a power washer to clean up the tractor's chassis although I'd like to get a steam cleaner to make it even easier. I do like to sandblast the sheet metal and small parts that are removed from the tractor but you would be sirprised what you can do with $5 worth of oven cleaner and a decent power washer. As for paint it all depends on how much money you want to spend but don't use the cheap farm supply store paint because it won't last 5 years. If you are on a tight budget get paint from a CIH dealer, if you have the proper protective equipment you can add a hardner to it to make it more durable and glossier. I prefer automotive urethane paints, PPG Omni single stage urethane runs about $70/gallon plus hardner and reducer but it looks great and lasts alot longer than the enamel paints. Here is a picture of our 5488 that I painted with base coat/clear coat, it was expensive but it will look great for a long time.
