Painting a 1066

Can someone give me a ballpark on what it would take to paint a 1066 with a YearRound cab on it? I'm not looking for a "show room" job, just a good paint job.
Thanks.
 
whew, 1066 with a cab is gonna be a project to paint!!! depending on your paint choice, i"d guess between 2 to 3 gallons of un-reduced paint, depends on how many parts off the tractor you are going to paint. your choices will prolly be a farm and fleet type alkyd enamel the least expensive, at maybe 30 to 40 a gallon, next is the modifyed alkyd from case i-h, somewhere areound 70 a gallon, then up to an automotive urethane like napas crossfire at 180 a gallon. with the bells and whistles, sandpaper, bondo, thinners ect, figure 300 or so for the farm and flett, maybe 500 or so for the dealer and close to a grand in materials for the crossfire, these are just ballpark figures, your results may vary.
 
There's a man in OH that painted this 1066 with Martin Senour's Crossfire paint. Hal

hal, that is one fine looking tractor there. tons of work went in to that paint job. hmmm, that tractor would look real nice sitting in my toolshed!!!
 
Here's another tractor he painted. He's setup to do it right as he power washes and sandblast's them. He removes the wheels with a forklift. He has a supplied air system too. Hal
PS: His dad sends me a picture of every tractor.

Thanks for the info. How about time? I'm not planning on painting myself and I hadn't considered taking anything off the tractor unless it made it substantially easier to paint. $800 in labor?
