Paint decisions opinions

As long as YOU are having fun, finish it the way YOU want just know it'll cost more than you think.... You can easily dump 5-7K into 'painting' but if you don't replace that $5 seal that leaks a drip once a day, your overall paint job is ruined. Every one is different, I'm not into 'trailer queens' prefer to USE tractors,so they will have dirt, grease,grime on them, 24/7. My BX23s is no exception,worn off paint, ripped seat,dusty and greasy. Anyone who wants it to be 'show room condition' can use their elbow grease to make it 'purdy'.

"easily dump 5-7K into painting"?
Canada paint must be REALLY expensive!

I'm talking about 'automotive' paints not 'TSC tractor enamel', although that is now close to $100 per USG
It's not just 'paint', you also need the proper hardener, some high quality epoxy primers, dang sandpaper is $1 a sheet for the cheap stuff. 'gun wash' used to be cheap, ka-ching today.....

Come jan 1 , price on everything that has 'high' voc will be obscene....
