How to Paint Heavy Equipment for Under $100
What happens here
After cleaning and grinding, apply a primer, followed by the final paint color, both using spray cans. The video suggests using "Cat Yellow" paint, which was bought from a local tractor supply company. The budget includes 5 cans of primer and 10 cans of paint. Apply multiple thin coats, allowing adequate drying time between each, to achieve an even and durable finish suitable for the equipment's use. The painting technique is simple: grind, prime, then paint with spray cans.
Goal: Apply a protective and cosmetic layer to the backhoe using spray paint.
