Based on the good advice I received on this forum, I bought Valspar paint from TSC to paint my Ford 641 Workmaster. As I've continued to read more posts I've come up with a couple of questions. This is not meant to be a show paint job. It'll be done outside probably in warm humid temperatures. The paint is to protect a working tractor, but I'd like it to look halfway decent. I plan to run a wire brush and some sandpaper over the bad spots. I then plan to shoot some spray can primer on any bare metal. I've used this process on lots of horse drawn farm equipment and a metal boat with decent results, but never with the TSC paint. Will Rustolium spray can primer be a satisfactory undercoat for the Valspar? When I bought the paint at TSC I also bought the hardener. After doing so I read a number of posts that said spraying hardener without a forced air breathing system was dangerous. I do not have such a system nor do I plan to buy one. I plan to use a standard respirator, so the question is, should I return the hardener, and will this paint do okay without it? I'm not looking to damage my lungs any more than I already have; I've done enough of that.
