I had damaged the hood on my tractor by a log rolling out of the bucket, so I decided to repair it and add some flames

Another of the top. A little bondo, paint, an air brush, and as my wife says, to much time on my hands

You are really going to get it started now. They went nuts when the guy just polished his tractor. I like them, but I'm a tractor polisher too.

The problem with "customization" is that when it's time to trade or sell, the buyer might want the tractor but not the "unique" paint job.

I do hand pinstriping and considered pinstriping my M9 but decided against it.

One of a kind paint schemes and pinstriping might add individuality to a unit, but may or may not promote a sale or trade in the end.

I've done body work and car painting off and on over the years so to sand it down and put a fresh coat of paint on it "if" I ever decide to sell or trade in would be no problem and come to think of it a fresh paint job might even get me more money.

Maybe, maybe not. It's interesting (your hood). Somehow, flames on a Kubota seem, well, overstated.

Flames on a 'busa would be more in keeping with the gender.

Of course, I have Ag tractors.

What, do you mean, maybe, maybe not. Seems you can't make up your mind. First you say the flames might affect the price or trade in, and then when I say it could be brought back to original you say maybe mabe not. Seems some people who didn't think of it or do it just can't find something nice to say, kinda negative minded if you ask me.
