Hello all,
I found a 1885 Ford C-800 Marmon-Herrington 4x4 Digger Derek truck.
Runs great with a rebuilt 8.2 DD turbo.
Old farmer gave it to us for our farm.
Looking at painting the exterior and would like to see what recommendations you all have for prep and paint brand to use. I was looking at what they have to offer at Tractor supply.
I have a hot water steam cleaner that I have used to get a lot of the old paint off of it. There is a ton of rust that I want to cover up and protect the metal. Not looking for anything perfect. The family and kids love the truck so we want to clean it up. I would prefer to keep the costs down and to not spray. I have sprayed my number of cars and regardless of respirator it gets in so I prefer hand applying. Let me know if there is any type of product you prefer? And what prep methods work best?
Thanks,
-Jay
