steel

When I looked at the first picture of the tractor,it appears that the surface under the new paint is bumpy or something. Nothing wrong with that on a tractor that is gonna work for a living.
That's why I asked what they were made of....

I have seen restorations of tractors with paint so shiny that you just wonder how they load them on the trailers from show to show without scratching them and probably wear house slippers to even work the clutch. Too extreme for me.

:smile: slumlord, that picture the hood and seat pan does look like fiberglass. On re-paints most people mix hardner in the paint makes the paint tuff as nails. I had a Buddy of mine, tell me that there is even hardner that use can use with rattle can paint. I have been to a lot of shows over the years and 90% of the time. those deck out tractors are never fired. They just push them on/off the trailer and use padded tie down straps. On other words. Trailer queens.
