[@codyashley1688]

Those were helpful tips. The flash trick is going to help me out a lot.

[@marklangham9754]

Looks Great ! Thank you for making this video. It's very helpful...

[@ColtonLloyd]

That’s awesome we are restoring a 1952 Farmall Cub and a 1960s IH 424

[@stargazer1733]

Another tip is to pour your paint opposite of the directions on the can label. This way, if you spill down the side of the can, you can still see your paint instructions for mixing, etc.

[@CovertsShop]

Absolutely! That's a good one. Thanks!

[@rodneywager2142]

I'm reading the comments and just want to confirm Primer, no sanding, one finish coat, no sanding, no clear coat? Last thing, for a tractor of this size did you fill up the pot?

[@CovertsShop]

Primer no sanding. Three coats of color. No clear. We used almost 2 gallons for the entire tractor. Thanks for watching!

[@Quigley248]

@@CovertsShophow long between coats? Thanks

[@metalrooves3651]

l use a whole can of aerosol carbuerator cleaner per job to really get my equipt. cleaned up..

[@jorgezamora3595]

What does the xylene do for the paint? Is it better then using acetone?

[@joshuawarren5094]

What kind of sprayer setup are you using?

[@jasonpaumen4520]

When you used the rustoleum metallic silver, did you add any hardener?

[@CovertsShop]

I did not use any hardener in the silver

[@chrisheffernan6600]

Did you clear coat over the paint or did it come out looking that glossy with the base coat?

[@CovertsShop]

No clear coat was used. Just single stage enamel

[@ericbottoms2493]

Curious, how do you clean up that sticky red floor?

[@CovertsShop]

Well we don't haha. This is our dedicated paint area, it does eventual wear off. I do believe that we are going to start putting paper down.

[@lodollar23]

Do you have another link for the paint? This link isn't working. Thx

[@CovertsShop]

Yes I just fixed the link.

[@lodollar23]

@@CovertsShop thanks!

[@Bigmatt5891]

Do you have to mix anything with the rust-oleum

[@CovertsShop]

I believe rust-open has a optional Hardner. I prefer to use the Hardner it dries quicker and has a higher gloss

[@jojojeep1]

Wow that tractor looks like a piece of jewelry

[@CovertsShop]

Thanks so much!

[@jerrydrosell]

What kind of gun do you use and what size tips for primer and topcoat?

[@CovertsShop]

I believe I used my devilbiss pot gun with a 1.4 tip for everything

[@johnb1121]

Is that in a paint booth or just a garage???

[@CovertsShop]

This is my prep / paint area in the corner of my shop.

[@metalrooves3651]
