I have started posting on a SA restore I am doing. I am in the middle of striping it down, removing paint and rust and preping pieces for painting. Question 1
After the paint is removed and the iron oxide is wire wheeled off, what is the best way to store the pieces for painting so they wont rust back up again? Question 2
Is it ok to shoot the whole tractor(including engine, trans, wheels, etc.) with 2 part epoxy primer? Or should I use a different primer on places that get hot? I have no experience with epoxy primer on engines and stuff that gets hot. I am going to take the whole thing to bare metal before priming. Question 3 What is the best way to prevent flash rust on cast pieces like the main trunk of the tractor? (pictured) The last one I re did, after each piece was stripped, I coated with rustlick. Expensive and a pain to remove just before priming. I would like to shoot all pieces in one day instead of remixing and cleaning over a couple or more days. Of course the hydraulics, control tower, steering manifolds, front end, wheels, etc still need to be removed and then I will block the whole thing up. All suggestions are most welcome and appreciated. scott#2
