Wet Sanded 702- Nice change...

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,590]

Figured I would post a few before and after pics of a 702 that was primed with red oxide primer then put in a shed for the past 30 years. I was not sure what I would find under the primer but I figured it had to be better than what it was. I used 1000 grit wet sandpaper and took my time. It is not finished yet but looking pretty good. I painted the wheels with navajo white rustxo with a brush. I also painted the tires with miller's tire paint. And of course.... a little salad dressing on top-lol!

This one is not making it to the show. I do not have the room. I would love to take 5 more if I did !!

What a nice change. How about sharing the secrets other than wet sanding. Did you clear it or wd-40 it? What color and type paint did you use on the rims? Really does look nice!

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,590]

Ken-

I used Navajo White made by rustxo (custom mixed at the hardware store). I painted it on with a decent brush. Two coats. I then painted the tires with Millers and all I thought about was "just spin it"... lol

Looks great! One things for sure...your tractors won't rust.
