perry 1 Posted November 22, 2007 being a nice original tractor with decent paint, i want to try and clean up the white paint on the dash area. the rest of the tractor is'nt too bad. there is only one spot on the hood that has a bad scrape mark. even has nice decals. what would you guys recommend to use on the rusty stained dash without having to repaint.

RayS 79 Posted November 22, 2007 I have had good results with a rubbing compound, but others may have a better idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goatfarmer 817 Posted November 22, 2007 Rubbing compound is a good idea, but that looks like a repaint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tacey 0 Posted November 22, 2007 After trying rubbing compound, various cleaners/polishers I had laying around, I just brushed on some paint. Without a major dis-assembly, the dash area is tough to do much with. Good luck, and nice tractor. Tacey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaBravo 0 Posted November 22, 2007 To protect the decals from paint, mask off using painters tape. Cut around the decal with a new blade in a utility knife. Some delicate decals might need the "delicate" painters tape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom_Byrne 0 Posted November 22, 2007 As Kenny said, looks like a re-paint. I repainted a dash on the tractor- not too bad, just a lot of tape & paper. As for the hood don't do what I did: I just painted the top because I was running low on paint. Five years later, I'm seeing rust coming thru the paint from the underside of the hoodC! Won't make that mistake again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
