Amazing job, I really like the attention to detail like not painting the nuts and bolts. I am looking to paint my B7610 probably next summer. How did you paint it, did you take it all apart and paint each piece or tape it?

Very nice job indeed!

Very nice job. Now the trick is to use it while still keeping it looking nice.

Thanks much guys for the compliments!and I know we will see how long it takes for me to put a gouge in the new paint ,,,One thing I have learned after many years of painting cars is that when its done its time to move around it a little slower or it will get scratched .
Joe I took off the hood,grilles,fenders and painted them separate, I took the loader off and basically spot painted the loader and parts left on the chassis.I did take out the bolts that were easy and did tape some. One thing that makes a big difference and has many advantages is using a high end urethane paint,it covers super fast with out loading it up,sticks better and if you bump it will normally scuff and buff out not scratch like cheap stuff,Also will find a quart of the good will goes as far as a gallon of the lower end product..
thanks again jim
