I have a construction company and have several machines like mixing plant, tripper trucks, soil diggers etc. Most of the equipments lost their smoothness because the paint got peeled off. I don’t want to spend much on renovation of my machineries. Is there any possible way to get them back in good appearance?

Sand the surfaces as smooth as practical, treat them with a rust converter and spray with an epoxy sealer, followed by a high build primer. Sand the primer to as smooth a surface as you want, and repaint with the colour (s) of your choice. This is the process used during the restoration of antique tractors.

If you don't want a smooth show surface and are looking for a quick fix, brush or spray a coat of Rustoleum.

We have a couple of companies here that sandblast and paint heavy equipment, either on your site or theirs. I don't know if that is a possibility where you are.
