Frank Stalfire, the DuPont rep needs to answer your paint question, if he sees this. If not, the link indicates that tufcoat comes in a variety of formulations, from the replacement for the old Dulux alkyd enamel to some pretty good urethanes. As to the non-iso, some of the tufcoat products are. Otherwise use acrylic enamel without hardener, or an "acrylic modified" alkyd enamel -- DuPont has those, also. From the price you gave I assume that it is the old alkyd enamel (non-iso unless you use hardener), which will fade, but I'm not sure that it is -- see if you can find it in the list. Assuming that your loader is outside, no primer will protect it from rust other than epoxy primer, and epoxys need to be topcoated within a short period of time, from 3 days to a week, depending on the individual product. Otherwise it has to be sanded/scuffed and reapplied. If it is inside, a phosphoric acid product such as Picklex, which is formulated specifically for the purpose you have in mind will prevent rust, it is expensive at about $30 a pint, it goes a long way, but I don't know if a pint will do a loader. I think Must for Rust (I got mine from Home Depot) is about the same thing, according to my use of it, and is much cheaper. They are applied with a squirt bottle, and evened up with a brush. They do not necessarily need to be removed before painting, but I try to remove as much of the residue as I can with a scotchbrite pad, and follow with a good wax and grease remover. As to spray guns, I want mine to last so I stay away from cheap ones. Others like them, they can do the recommending.
