A few years ago I was restoring an older Cub, and the owner acquired the paint for me. He gave me a 2-part epoxy primer (Don"t remember the brand) and "Awl Grip" boat paint for the finish red coat. I was impressed with the "Awl Grip. It is intended for the marine industries, but after it cured (It is 2-part also) it was tough as nails and looked absolutely wonderful. One must be cautious when spraying "Awl Grip" and use an air supplied hood for respiration.
Anyone else out there had success with other types of primer/
paint? I am getting ready to begin the restoration of my Grandfather"s 1952 "H" and am open for suggestions.

DuPont, PPG, Sherwin Williams, ect -- anything from the economy urethane lines to the $2-300/ gallon stuff, as long as you have supplied air. Many, perhaps not all epoxy primers do not contain isocyanates in the hardener/catalyst. Urethane surfacers do. Put epoxy under the surfacer on the sheet metal and sand the surfacer, epoxy only on the cast iron.
