So I used a paint stripper and wire wheel to strip 97-98% or the rust and paint from the tractor (and have pretty much bare metal. I can provide a photo). I'm looking to paint the tractor so that I can bring it to shows here and there yet also have it so that if it gets dirty or scratched I don't loose my mind because I put all crazy money into it.
My question now is, do I have to sand the metal (or sandblast over what I wire wheeled)then clean it with a wax and grease remover? If do I just put a wax and grease remover on and begin to prime. Also, is a simple auto primer from say Autozone sufficient for this type of work? Unfortunately I live on Long Island and there is not a TSC or anything like that in my area. People have told me to use an etch or epoxy primer and then a 2k primer and all this stuff but I', not painting a '70 chevelle. Haha
This is my first project and I really need some extra advice on the painting part of the tractor.
Thank you!
