Greetings and thank you - this is my first post here but looking through past topics I can see there is tons of great information and knowledge.
I want to repaint an old (well I guess there are no new) MM G4 combine. I am not looking for a perfect show quality but some thing that will look good from 20'. I am going to paint it MM Prairie Gold 2.
The paint on the body (galvanized steel) is good except for being faded.
The MM G4 has a lot of 2" X 2" angle iron on it which was used for bracing/framing. Much of this is rusted although still structurally sound. I plan on wire brushing it with an angle grinder but I know I will not get it down to shiny metal so it will still have some rust on it.
My question(s) are:
1) How should I treat the remaining rust - e.g. rust remover or neutralizer? Preferred products?
2) What type of primer or primers should I use before the final paint?
I will use a single stage Paint (probably not urethane though) with a hardener - with proper respiratory protection!!!!
Thank you for your help,
Brad
