Hi guys,
Question on painting a Farmall A. I am in the planning stages of restoring an old Farmall and trying to figure out the best way to handle the painting aspect. First off, I have very little experience spray painting therefore my question may seem very basic. I enjoy reading the Paint and Bodywork forum and have picked up a little knowledge about the subject.
It sounds like if you are looking for a quality finish then Epoxy Primer is the way to go. If so here is my question.
I plan on picking away at the restoration at a leisurely pace. If epoxy primer has a re-coat window only up to 7 days is there a work around for the time constraint ? From what I read you can a abrate the primer if your outside the window but I wonder if that gives you the same adhesion as if you applied the top coats within the primer window ? Also I can see where sanding / scuffing up large sheet metal parts like the gas tank, hood, fenders is possible how would you handle doing a satisfactory job on parts that have a lot of nooks and crannies like a carburetor or cast iron parts for example.
I have read a few post on rust converters and was wondering if you could apply that to buy enough time to be at a point where youre ready applying the top coats ? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
