CAT 299D Front Stripping and Repainting - Man Vs. Rust 

I stripped and sanded down the front bucket/loader arms of my Cat 299D, tackling the rust and scratched-off paint.
The front loader arms were pretty scuffed and banged up, and had a slapdash paint job prior to my purchasing this CAT second hand. I want to get any surface rust removed and protect from future damage as much as possible.
I disassembled the various connectors and mounts, and used stripping compound to remove the previous paint job and original paint. A straight razor is incredibly helpful here to scrape off the loosened paint! I also used a wire wheel to remove stubborn areas and wire brushes for the hard-to-reach nooks and crannies, taking everything to bare metal and polishing away any rough areas.
After everything is cleaned up, I used an etching paint, spray primer, and official CAT mango yellow spray paint to make everything look as good as new. I also used a clear coat while the paint was still slightly tacky, and let everything cure untouched for a week. This will hopefully help everything last and look good for years.
