squonk 39,003 #1 Posted June 13, 2010 Hated the lousy paint job that came on the GT-14 Replaced it with a semi-lousy job. Some previous owner got paint on the hood decals. Didn't come off. Nothing would cut it. Must have been some of that nuclear reactor paint. Before: After: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmuone 15 #4 Posted June 14, 2010 Good job on those rims Mike. I have mine primed and waiting on the tires. Figure to mount, then paint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Toolman 22 #5 Posted June 14, 2010 I'd bet lacquer thinner will take it off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #6 Posted June 14, 2010 Lacquer thinner will take the color off the decal not just the paint, hey that belt guard looks at home on there :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Toolman 22 #7 Posted June 14, 2010 Lacquer thinner will take the color off the decal not just the paint, hey that belt guard looks at home on there Not if it has a clear cover on it. Most of the printed decals have a clear layer on top of'em. Or at least the newer type decals made nowdays do to protect the printing from weather Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,237 #8 Posted June 14, 2010 Nice tractor. I have had good luck getting paint off of decals by gently rubbing with Acetone. Both belt guard decals were covered on the 702 and the 502...they look great now. :USA: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 39,003 #11 Posted June 14, 2010 Tried lacquer thinner. Didn't touch it. Took it out for a ride around the block. Guy at a next door party wanted to buy it. I was so shocked I threw him a crazy price and he said sure and asked me for my phone number. He said he'd call tonite, we'll see. If he does, I'm definitely bringing a trailer to the show! :USA: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 39,003 #12 Posted June 14, 2010 After getting interest from this one guy I threw it on CL to see how much interest I could get. Got an E-mail from a lady who collects WH's. She's coming tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 39,003 #13 Posted June 15, 2010 Sold it! Very nice couple who collect tractors bought it. Glad it's going to a good home. On to the show! Have trailer will travel! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
