The start of a much needed paint job

[varmint]

Paul, I think your forklift photos are what got me interested in your work to begin with! Good work.

I think epoxy primer is a no-brainer choice. Very easy to use, sticks and protects, and beats other primers hands down in my experience. I noticed that my loader bucket, which I cleaned up and primed and sprayed with Kubota orange paint, is a good example: I was moving some stone and gravel, and on the cutting edge, the orange paint is worn off, but the gray primer is still there. Talk about tough!

Oh well , I think kit looks alright there are some runs but I was going more for the looks pretty good up close and really good at a distance. Tell me what you all think

SW has a very good DTM paint in Kubota orange. Its real tough. It'd be a great tractor paint. Sorry I forget the PN for the paint but any SW industrial store should have it

It's looking good.

Looking good. It's a good feeling to freshen up an older tractor.
