I have never attempted painting anything that I could not do out of an aerosol can. I don't have anything to do right away, but I would like to learn "real" painting for some future plans to repaint some tractor and implement parts. Is there a good web site or book or other means to learn good painting techniques?

If you go to the left hand side menu of this site, in the Marketplace, there is a link for "Videos". In here if you look around there is a video for "How to Paint a Tractor." I have not seen the video but I imagine it has some good tips. You might want to try looking at the "Paint and Bodywork" forum as well. There are some very knowledgeable people with good tips. Search the archives if you want to as well, thats where I picked up alot of ideas. Thats pretty much where I learned how to paint parts and tractors. I hope this helps. Good luck!

Good painting comes with practice. Even those spray cans can produce a professional finish on a smaller job. Keep the nozzel a fixed distance from the work, keep it perpendicular to the work and stop spraying at the end of each pass....apply to a can or gun. Look for automotive booklets on news stands or used book stores by Peterson (Hot Rod etc.) titled "Body work and painting" I have a couple from the 60's and 70's that are full of good info.
