WaxMan,

Very professional job on the painting. Really dials the top in. That type of plastic is tough to stick anything to. What type of prep was required and what prime & top coat did you use? Also, nice clean lines on the masking - what type of tape?

Dave

Thanks Dave
The masking was easy since there is a seem all along the whole top,
I used a gray scuff pad with (Presta brand) Cleaner and Surface Preparation for plastics, its a water base liquid sanding paste.
Then a plastic multi prep cleaner it's a wax remover solvent for plastices , then sprayed on two coats of Bulldog adhesion promoter and finally a satin black Plasticoat spray bomb.
Sounds like a lot of work but very easy to do.
I seen a picture of 4shorts new tractor and thought the top looked really good black and orange.

Hey I was hacking up the top anyway with the holes for the lights why not go all the way. I figured if I mess it up a new top is only $750.00

I think chrome spinner wheels should be next.

Seroiusly, the quality of your work is very good.

Wax,

Now that you've got the canopy dialed in it's time to start working on that hood ornament. Here's the one off my wireless modem to get you started thinking.

Ps: the Beeny elephant was found a month ago while I was splitting an old pile of oak. Was in pretty bad shape and by my best guess may have been lost in that pile over 10 years ago (my boys are teens now). Brought back a lot of old memories when I picked it up.

Man I got to say that I'm at awe over what you've done here. Just outstanding work. I don't think I'd even hang out here is it weren't for you and mjncad's workmanship. You guys set the standard for how things should be done. Love the lights and if my wife say's anything else to me about my tractor, I'm going to start showing her your posts Very nice work my friend. Really!

I think we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one
