I am in the process of getting ready to paint my International H tractor. It has been in the family since it was new and now is a bit rusty.
I I am not looking for show quality but want a decent paint on the thing that will not fade.
I have it pretty well torn down, have taken off the radiator, fenders, most of the brackets, many engine components, pretty much stripped. I have cleaned up the removed components either by wire brushing or sand blasting and as they are cleaned I spray then with Rust-Oleum primer. The main part of the tractor I plan on cleaning it up using a high pressure water sand blasting unit.
My problem is that I don't know much about painting. I am pretty much convinced thru several posts I have read that IH2150 is the paint to use, it is durable and does not fade much. I am thinking of spray painting the main part with primer, then IH2150 paint and spraying the individual components with IH2150 rattle cans. After assembly I would then spray the entire assembled tractor with IH2150 in order to get things like bolt heads and other missed areas.
Any thoughts would be GREATLY appreciated.
