In Reply to: Pondering spray Guns posted by jd2cyl1943 on April 16, 2023 at 13:21:55:

I painted a couple tractors when I was in
high school. I had never painted (spray gun
style) before, and knew nothing about
automotive/tractor paint. But, ... I
stumbled my way through it, and learned as
I went along. I ended up with basically a
descent looking paint job on the two
tractors. But I kind of wished after the
fact, that I would of just let somebody who
actually knew what they was doing help me
out with choosing the supplies, and
actually let them spray the paint using
thier experience. I didn't use any paint
hardners or give it a clear coat. And I
seen alot of other people's paint jobs
afterwards that looked really superb and
almost like the paint was still wet. My
paint jobs didn't turn out like that, but
maybe they would of if I had somebody with
experience involved. That was before the
days of internet, so I didn't even have
this.

Anyways, you might want to do all your own
prep, primering, and sanding and what not.
And let somebody else (in person) help you
with the actual paint and choosing the
right primer for the kind of paint your
gonna use. If nothing else, as a on site
coach. There is tricks to painting. Some
tricks that you will unlikely learn on your
own. But can be learned from somebody else.
Might make a big improvement to the
finished paint job.

Maybe your not particular with how it turns
out. And just want paint on it. And that's
fine too. And maybe your short on
resources. But I wouldn't short myself on
atleast having a coach involved. You said
your dad knows somebody. And maybe there is
somebody else. Even if they just coach from
the sideline, they can save you alot of
learning as you go, when it comes to paint.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th ... [Read Article]
