There's something special about an old truck, tractor or implement; they overflow with honesty, durability and mechanical simplicity. When it comes time to repair or restore that equipment, you need the right paint and the appropriate procedures.

How to Paint Tractors & Trucks explains the various paints that can be used to give that old Massey or Ford the bright shine that will make you proud. Whether the project is a simple freshening done on a budget, or a complete restoration intended for the show circuit, there are specific paints guaranteed to help you achieve the desired end result.

From stripping the paint to the application of the body filler, primer, sealer and final topcoat, each step of the process is explained in detail. In-the-shop sequences show hands-on how the components are disassembled, repaired, painted and assembled.
