I'm working on a spring painting plan for a 52 Ferguson.
I have been doing a lot of reading on degreasing, cleaning, prep, prime and paint but still have some questions.
- All sheet metal will be going to a body
shop for some metal work and paint.
- degrease and clean tractor.
- sand and wire wheel rust areas to bare
metal.
- prime ( my questions)
- Paint using an acrylic enamel.
Questions.
After cleaning rust areas to bare clean metal what should I prime thoes spots with to avoid flash rust while working on the rest of the tractor? I will be doing this over several day/weeks. If I use epoxy primer I'll miss the window and have to sand those areas before painting or is there an alternative I'm missing?
I wasn't planning on taking the entire thing to bare metal. What primer should I be considering to use to go over the cleaned and primed areas and the old paint that will work well with the acrylic enamel top coat?
Thanks in advance for your responses
