Well, today i was working for a farm near here that also sold trailers (horse and tractor and such). One of my jobs was to paint them. OK sounds simple enough. The first one was covered in really old cracked paint, with different layers showing different colors. The man said wait here and came back after a few minuites with a gallon of implement paint and a paintbrush, and a roller. OK, here ya go. I asked about primer-na, dont worry about it. Than about wire brushing or even sanding the old paint and was told not to bother. I did as i was told and the finished product was a disaster, but they seemed happy with it. I dont know how they can sell anything like that (mabey im just a perfectionast). Also did a plow and a bushhog, same thing only pure rust and very little old paint. He told me to use a hand wire brush and those two things accually turned out half-decent.
I painted a small garden tractor wagon about a week ago for myself with my trusty $10 HF gun. Paint strippered it, then wire wheeled it, then primed it twice and sanded it, then primed it again, then did i believe 3 coats of color and it turned out great. I also made a set of racks for it and it looks really neat.
