the other thing that works well to remove paint is aircraft stripper. be sure to wear rubber gloves, it will make your hands warm. and as for paint i like to use some " high dollar" paint on the sheet metal, the parts that really stand out. the old saying you get what you pay for is very true.good luck!!

I don't know which is the best way, I used a power washer and lye gravey, also cheap oven cleaner on tractor chasis. And anything that could be removed I put in my electrolysis tank, this was the way to go as it removed any and all paint AND also more important, the rust.

I haven't figured out why most everyone advocates using the HIGH dollar paint. As you can see from picture posted below I have the really high gloss wet looking finish from the standard CNH Iron Gard enamel $39 + pr gal. along with 5 star hardner at $18 pr pint. The depth of gloss depends on how much hardner you mix in your paint.HTH

PS..I have obtained just as good of results using $28 pr gallon paint from our farm supply using hardner

Just based on my experiences.

Use a wire brush, Drill wire brush, scrapers,& a sander. You can buy paint online, but if you have a place in town you can get it from, it would probably be a lot cheaper. I got DURA-SHIELD 4205 CaseIH Red Gloss paint for my H for $3.99 per spray can from L&M Fleet Supply. One can lasts for quite a while, but it is good to put on a few coats of it.

I would use name brand paint Martin Senour Crossfire or PPG's Omni Single Stage. Here's a SuperW6TA painted with Martin Senour's Crossfire.

n a traqctor that I didn't completely dismantle, but needed to clean up to paind (or even work on for that matter) I started with a hot presssure washer, It did a fantastic job oif peeling away the heavy crud so that the other chemical and mechanicla stuff stod a better chance of wdoing what they were made to do.

Oven cleaner or flame both do well in loosening paint up so that a twisted wire wheel on an angle grinder. I've actuall got some paint on some whhelweights for a B that oven cleaner never sid get to the bottom of. Flame only left it tougher. Wound up griding it wdown and relied on the rough surface to hols the new paint on in the spots that I couldn't get cleaned off well.

I use an acetylene torch to strip paint off mine. Just heat until paint bubbles, then hit with a wire wheel and it looks like new. Oven cleaner works pretty good on oil and grease.

I haven't found a place that would ship paint. Don't know if you can anymore. They consider it hazardous.
