Posted by MSFarmer on June 07, 2014 at 12:15:38 from (166.147.121.166):

I have a lot of equipment laying around the shop that could really be ran through the auction, but I"d like to give it a paint job first to maximize the dollar.

Here is my plan:

I am going to buy a 6 ft disc tomorrow which I"ll use piddling around the house. Disc is in good working order, but The factory paint is in bad shape. I want to Paint it so that I can get a feel of what a bigger implement would be like and to see if i"m any good at painting. I"ve looked a lot of places and have seen a lot of different complicated opinions (which I"m sure are great, but I"m not brushed up on paint lingo and ppg could mean price per gallon for all I know currently). What I"m looking for here are the answers to these questions:

What"s a good low-medium price range gun for a beginner?

What type of promer/paint/hardener would be easiest and most reasonably priced that I could practice on some scrap metal with and then tackle this disc (all I know I I"m going with yellow, not sure I that matters)?

Any quick tips? (I.E. stand on one foot and hold your nose right while spraying)

I"m planning on using my old trailer mounted Wisconsin compressor for the gun and will probably use a sander over sandblasting for this first job (don"t want to invest too much too soon). What"s a goo procedure for cleaning out an air tank so that I don"t get bits of rust or anything jamming up the gun?

My budget is probably $500 hopefully less, and I am not at all above buying used stuff. I will have some time to assemble materials as I want to play with the disc for a couple weeks before I take it apart an paint it.

Are there any questions that I should have asked that I have not?

Any help is greatly appreciated and feel free to tear me to shreds if I"ve offended you with my newbie questions.

Today's Featured Article - It Can't Be Done! - A Tractor Story - by Neil Campbell. I'll never forget the time back when I was a boy baling hay on our Farm in Big Rapid, Michigan. The most memorable event that took place was a trip up the steepest incline on the farm pulling an old New-Idea baler with a pony-motor for power and a haywagon. I had just talked my Dad into buying an old John Deere B with 6-speeds ahead and I was real proud of it, except it was a little smaller than the Case tractor that we normally ... [Read Article]
