1. Prepare the tractor for painting. Use a pressure washer to remove any dirt and debris from the exterior surfaces of the tractor. A simple solution of water and dish detergent can be used to remove any stubborn dirt. Use a wire brush to remove any rust or paint flakes.
2. Sand and prime the tractor. Using a power sander, sand all of the exterior surfaces of the tractor. This will help to create an even surface and remove any irregularities. Prime the tractor with an automotive primer. Allow the primer to dry thoroughly before continuing.
3. Paint the tractor with an automotive enamel paint. An automotive paint made for tractors is ideal for this process. Use a paintbrush for small details and a paint roller for larger surfaces. Apply several coats of paint to ensure an even, solid-looking color.
4. Allow the paint to dry for several hours.
5. Clean up. Use a damp cloth to remove any paint from the tractor’s surfaces before reassembling the tractor.
