Hi Tim,

You have asked questions that can have different answers...and different opinions. I will try to give my own personal ones. First though I think you need to establish how much you are willing to spend, in total, on materials and also evaluate what equipment you have available to you to apply them. I am going to assume that you do not wish to buy additional equipment and that you have a basic spray gun and an air compressor that can properly supply it, including some type of rudimentary respiratory safety equipment but NOT a supplied-air respirator. You should not feel pressured by anyone to spend more than you are comfortable with in order to get a "better" job. I am of the opinion that you can achieve a fairly decent paint job on a limited budget. It won�t win any prizes at tractor shows...but that is not your goal, is it? Give me an idea of your material budget...under say $200 or do you want to go higher? Is your spray gun the external mix type? Give me an idea of what you have for available equipment. If you are confused with some of the terminology, just ask. Then we can continue on with the more detailed stuff if you wish. Also, read back a ways in this forum. You will see a discussion on phosphoric acid treatments among other things that you might find useful.

For now,
Rod
