I have been working on the hood of my 8N. After stripping it, and doing some repair work to the typical rust-throughs in a couple of spots on the beads, I sprayed it with Rustoleum rusty metal primer.
I got a gallon of Ace Rust Stop Oil-based enamel color- matched to a clean spot on the gas tank.
I put one coat of enamel on and waited about 10 days. Then I sanded with some 320 grit. Because this is a work tractor, there are several areas where the metal is a bit lumpy (from dents and high spots from previous body work) and I sanded through the first coat and even the primer in a couple of spots.
After touching up the bare metal spots, I applied a second coat of enamel.
I am thinking that I should probably apply a third coat, as there are going to be some thin spots from the sand-throughs. Any recommendations as to prepping the surface other than sanding? I guess I could sand just the smoother areas without any problems, but I am concerned with good adhesion in the rougher areas.
