    best to ask on the classic car threads, or Google it. Going to be expensive enough. Good spray gun about 200 euro, de vilbis or similar. water trap for your compressor. breathing apparatus for yourself. would you be better doing all the prep work and paying a professional to lay on the paint, ? two pack paint is best left to the pro, due to the cyanide fumes given off. Google that as well.

    Better off getting someone who knows how to do it, rather than run the risk of making an expensive hames of it.

    Then you should get a professional to do it :)
    Would probably work out cheaper than buying the equipment for a one off job too.

    Am to collect a bonnet and grill, sidepanels for a ZETOR 8145 that a man did for me for 150 euro with tractol paint. said it could be done with 2 pack, lovely finish for show but not as durable for everyday use and would cost a lot more to do.

    Two pack gives a lovely finish, but is very hard and will chip easier than the cellulose. Also a pro will be able to bake the finished product and therefore eliminate the chance of damp/dust/bugs etc.

    The spraying part of painting a tractor is the fastest and easiest part. Proper equipment is expensive and regardless of what you may think you will never get it as good as a pro.
    The prep work is the slow part of spraying a tractor. get cleaning, sanding annd stripping down and when you have all that done call in someone to spray it .
