Chad, I did my first real paint job last year, and I used the PPG paint...an acrylic urethane color coat over their epoxy primer. I found the paint to be pretty tolerant of someone who didn't really know what there were doing (me!). I think the biggest lesson I learned was to follow the primer with color coat in less than 72 hours. With the PPG paint, that will create a chemical bond between the two layers. Past 72 hours, you need to give the primer coat a sanding to rough it up. I did the sheet metal off the tractor and used a sanding primer in addition to the epoxy coat. I did a lot of reading before I jumped in. Spent a small fortune at my Barnes & Noble store ;-). I agree with the other posts on searching this site for articles. There's great stuff here. I'm also lucky to have a neighbor who is an expert body work and paint guy, and he was a great help. Good luck! Feel free to email me with questions -- I'm definitely not an expert, but I'll be happy to tell you what I did in more detail if it's helpful. - David
