I know this is off the subject of tractor painting but its the only place that I know where I might be able to get some answers. I have a 20" bar on my saw and I'm trying to repaint it black with flat black spray enamel, the problem is everytime it is dried completely I can scratch it right off with my own finger nails, this occurs with other metal surfaces aswell, is there some special trick ican use to keep this from happening. Anything would be helpfull, thanks

Hi Al,

I have never painted a chainsaw bar but here is a suggested approach:

1. Clean - no oil remnants
2. Sand off all coatings to bare metal with 80 grit sandpaper (using power, if you have it) - the metal surface should be roughened to assure good adhesion
3. Prime with whatever primer is recommended for bare metal on the topcoat can
4. Spray on the flat black

I am assuming here that this is for a working saw and you wish to avoid the expense of automotive paint materials (with a lot leftover) for a very small project. Note that you will have some sandscratches show after the black is applied. This is because of the coarse sandpaper. This should not be a problem for a working saw but if you would like to minimize them, sand with 180 or so grit prior to priming. I am assuming that you do not require a "mirror smooth" finish here.
