Etching primer is mostly used on cars when no body work is needed and you can just prime it and topcoat quickly. Epoxy primer will provide better rust prevention and is better for tractors because they are chemical resistant. Each epoxy primer is different so you need to get a spec sheet with whatever primer you use. I use Nason Ful-Poxy 491-16. It has a 72 hour window in which it has to be topcoated but epoxy primers don't sand like oil based primers. They dry so hard if sanding and leveling is needed a filler primer should be put over the top so I use Evercoat Featherfil over the top. After coating with the Featherfil there is no recoat window. I can sand it and work it anytime. If bodywork is needed I put the fiberglass filler over the epoxy primer before the Featherfil. Anyway you can prime the metal parts with the epoxy primer and let set indefinitely. If you go much beyond the recoat window you will need to put a fresh coat of epoxy primer before preceding.
