Heres a problem...we are restoring a Farmall A at our vineyard. We primed the entire dis-assembled tractor with rusty metal primer because thats what we had some gallons of on hand. We are about to paint it very soon. I read in this post that rusty metal primer is only good for rusty metal.... will it matter a great deal that the machine is primed with possibly the wrong primer??

I am not a paint genius and even spray can paint befuddles me. Heavens, I been married three times and I have never been allowed to paint more than 1 time for any of them. That said, I painted an old Farmall with Rustolem Rusty metal primer in total Many spray cans. Then I took it to be painted by a friend who used hardner in his paint and that was almost 5 years ago and it still looks good as new. Dont worry at this stage. Just paint them and get on with your life.

If you used Rustoleum's Rusty Metal Primer, the manufacturer sure does not recommend it for use on clean or lightly rusted surfaces. Only for heavily rusted ones. Read the label directions of the product you used carefully and proceed at your own risk. Yes, it could matter a great deal if you don't strictly follow the manufacturer's written instructions for each paint product you use.

Can anyone offer a solution except for the obvious? I do not want to remove all the primer.

Aww, just sand the primer with some 240 A sand paper, blow it off with air pressure, wash it down with prep-sol, pre-kleeno, or any good final wash, and paint it! Heck, i painted my old ratty Ford Ranger with Rustoleum rusty metal primer, and some Rustoleum maroon paint, with a sponge brush, and its still on there, and still shines!
