the 1st paint job i did we used a 1.5 hp 25 gallon tank 110 compressor and a friends NAPA siphon feed spray gun(Copy of a Binks). The compressor wouldnt keep up
with constant painting but for a tractor other than the hood and fenders you dont really need that, it did very well and you can buy those used at auctions or
garage sales for pretty cheap. you need a good water filter and most of the compressors have an adj regulator built in. The old enamal paint with hardener gave a
great shine and added toughness to the paint, we used light color primer when we could cause it showed the spots that needed the most attention the best. When
spraying dark colors we used red as it took less paint that way to cover, they also used to have a primer that was called fill and seal, it was thicker and could
use less filler for certain spots. Non of this is cheap but i have seen some use Farm store paint with hardner and get good results, we always used automotive
style paint like dupont or martin senor (spelling) with hardner. You need a GOOD mask when using hardner, it will get in your lungs and not break down, the parts
stores sell the disposable canister style fairly cheap, especially if you know someone who has an acct, like your body shop buddy. Paint guns are an individual
choice, i dont like the gravity feed hvlp but i didnt learn with those, they dont splatter when running out of paint like siphon guns do, you dont have to wrap a
rag around them to prevent drips either, but you can put more pressure on a siphon gun and atomize the mixture better i feel. As far as money i dont know what you
have access to as far as work but i started working in 3rd grade putting tables up in the cafeteria for free lunches, this continued through school, at 11 and up i
was mowing lawns, picking up rocks in the fields, detasseling corn on a crew and pulling chickens in an egg producing business (chickens were just a one summer
gig). This is just to say if you want it bad enough there are ways to make money, i have always worked 2 jobs and still had side gigs, 2nd job and extras went to
fund my hobbies. You are at a disadvantage in that the prices of things in relation to what you make are vastly different than when i was younger. But where all i
had was the people in my community to help you have the intranet to draw from so there is that also. Hang in there and one of these days you will be the one
directing a generation of youngsters in achieving their goals.
