Had an idea while in the store the other day........
Want to paint my tractor eventually and it'll be a brush/roller job (unless I find someone to spray it which I doubt).... Neighbor kid offered but is in luuuuuuuvvvvv now and not much time.... Anyway, was thinking that since this is gonna be a degrease, brush, and scuff prep, would it maybe look more presentable using a satin finish instead of gloss. Idea came when I saw some paint for cast iron/steel fence with a 10 year guarantee on the finish. Color on a fence is right between red primer and IHC red.....

I know it's mine and I can do what I want, but would like to hear what others think......

same for the black FEL....
 
You can do a pretty good job with rattle cans, and its easier than brushing. And will look a LOT better.
 
In my opinion the best is to degrease it and clean some rust if any. Then spray on a bit of clearcoat to prevent more rust. Leaving it as original as possible (ugly in some eyes, but not most) makes a real paint job 100% easier. Putting on a high durability non stock paint color will be sure to please the person that preps it next time (not). It is however yours, and it is in a Village with appearances important. So-- I would wait till winter, and the heat of the passion of romantic neighbor tongue hanging out is ""cooled"" some and do it right. Jim
 
try using some of the disposable small foam rollers. if you are using an alkyd implement paint, it will lay smoother. practice on the loader and see if you like it.
