Rhino lining for battery area?

   / Rhino lining for battery area? #71  
The other one didn't turn out as well. The tractor had been painted with a rattle can sometime before I bought it. After painting the cover for the other side, I can just see the old runs in it when the light hits it right. I'm trying to convince myself that I don't need to sand it back down and do it again.

I'm waiting for new decals now.

Comments?
Think; its a tractor, if I use it it will get dirt and dents on it, I am not afraid...

I was trying to help you lean toward leaving it alone- but if its going to bug you then better do it now. But wait, you could live with it until you can't take it anymore and then refinish it?! I'm confused:confused: Who's on first?:)

It's sitting here in my office beside me. I can work on it at my leasure while I wait for the new decals.

It's kinda funny really, I just picked it up and looked at it and the chips in the fiberglass don't bother me, but the visable runs in the underlying paint do. Figure that one out. LOL

That does make sense to me - see if the guy who painted it will repaint it for you if you buy the paint and do the initial prep work to get the surface condition to where you want it before he paints it.... Then you know the end result will be more to your liking.

That would be me. I did the sand and repaint. The runs are in the lower paint which was done before I owned it. I just didn't sand quite deep enough on this one.

So- grind it smooth and paint it. End of story!;):eek:

My vote is to fix it 100% to your highest level of expectation. It may be a tool but it's also an art form that is to be looked at and admired. If you died next week is OK to have done the work and were happy with it for whatever time you owned it. That's my philosophy.
Now, if you are pounding on it every day as a working machine it's hard to maintain it as wel...but...did you ever notice the most successful and profitabe farmers have the nicest of equipment and rarely haggle over repairs?
