HI,
I am 14 and have only painted with spay cans, but with great suscess.
I am a beginner with painting and i was wondering what is the best primer for a assortment of surfaces, what is the best way to aply it(spay paint or air compresser run spray gun). Also what is the best thickness to aply it. How much do you think i would need to prime a Allis WD.
Thank alot in advance

You need an epoxy primer first, one coat, or if you can't get good coverage with one coat, no more than two. The epoxy primer will assure adhesion of the following coats. This is a non-sanding primer. Cover this with a one or two part primer surfacer that is sandable-- this is not needed on the cast, only on the sheet metal. Two part primer surfacers and topcoats require a supplied air system (will cost more than your paint). For single stage paints a cartridge mask is adequate.

Painting is fun! first of all make sure that you take precaution when painting, get yourself a good resporator mask ( breathing) for painting, you will be thankfull later in life. spraying with cans is ok but someday you will want to have an air compressor and a good paint gun, what a difference. A lot of primers are lacquer paint and the fumes are dangerous so be carefull. I always start with thin to medium coates of primer then I sand it and re-prime. repeat the process until you have a scrath free surface ready for the paint. Wet sanding is a good method for sanding primer.
