Very nice results with the rattle cans! Are you going to put a clear on it?

I have no plans for clear. I'm using Meguiars polishing compound for any dull spots. It clears them right up. And Meguiars Ultimate wax does a great job to protect the paint.

Oh my z cub that is a money finish right there and with rattle cans none the less great job. Rustoleum does have a good product but Does go to show that it’s all about the prep as well. Very thorough job

You're not kidding about the prep. I spent many hours during the winter cleaning and sanding. The painting is easy.

Really nice! I do like that yellow!

I took a look at a lot of different yellows in spray cans and that's the one that I think looks the best. And the beauty of spray cans is that you can touch up any damage fairly easily.

Sorry, I'm not going to be the guy who compliments you on a job well done.
Of coarse it's shiny and nice.... they paint is new. It clearly isn't the right color yellow.

My whole thing is, why take the time to tear a tractor all down, sand it and paint the whole thing one part at a time, and not buy the right color paint? Or use something better to paint it than a rattle can? For the kind of money a can of rattle paint costs, you could have bought at least Case IH Ironguard paint and used a $25 HVLP gun form Harbor Freight and done just as good. At least then it would be the right color.

Sorry, but not sorry. I think any job worth doing, is worth doing right. Not commenting just isn't my personality.

I would rather have a rusty tractor, than one painted that wasn't the right color.

I would expect nothing less from you.
