Faded John deere paint refresh

[Wigeon]

The front of my 6900 is currently in bits with a new rad on it's way, and I thought I might take the chance to spruce it up as the bonnet, side panels and side rails are all off it. Paint is a bit faded, but generally pretty good considering its 25yrs old.

What and how does anyone recommend? Not done much of this before- t cut is the only stuff I've ever heard of (but never used!)

Might even find some new decals, if such things are obtainable!

Thanks!

t cut... be careful not to go through on the corners.. add polish afterwards.

Have you got a DA polisher?

As said G3 but use plenty of water and go slow to avoid burning through the edges or corners. Autoglym super resin after that and some wax over the top of that. Should be looking somewhere near after that.

Decals are simply available through a dealer. I bought a set of nick young which are great aswell. Cheaper sources may be there but a bad looking decal really ruins a tractor.

Da and some poor boys cutting compound followed by a good quality sealant wax from poor boys. Lasts well.
