Aerosol restorations

[Farmer_Randy4020]

A tractor that has been spray painted is not restored. I don't know how people think that painted over grease is acceptable. It is a waste of your time , and the buyers time.

Even if you remove all the grease, clean and prep everything correctly then shortcut and use aerosol cans to do your painting makes it a very crappy way of restoration and will look bad in a years time!

There is a huge difference between restored and repainted. With a restoration, everything should be dissassembled, rebuilt as new and reassembled. All the way from steering worm gears to the hitch.
Repainted just means someone splattered paint to hide the dirt. Big difference!

I knew a guy that bought 50 cans of spray paint when it was on sale.He sprayed his pickup.All he cared was that it was a cheap paint job.In about 6 months you could tell just how cheap it was.

Depends, I repainted my Gravely about 5 years ago with Rustoleum spray paint , still looks good.
And I found that if you use the Rusteoloum clear spray enamel on top it looks fresh painted for at least 3 years and counting.
Prep is the main thing in painting. Next is the quality of paint.
And yes a repaint is not a restoration.

Cheap spray cans are a waste of time.

Around here that's known as a DuPont Overhaul.

There should probably be a FEDERAL LAW addressing that; maybe if we all write our U.S. congresspersons????

Unless it's a real restoration done within the city limits of Dupont...
