CNKS said: (quoted from post at 20:20:44 01/08/09) If you are using DuPont paint, go to their website and follow their instructions. There is no reason to experiment. You really shouldn't primer disassembled and then topcoat when assembled. There will be areas that don't get topcoated because you will be topcoating at weird angles and simply will not be able to cover the primer completely without getting runs in your topcoat. There are no shortcuts if you want a good job. As Gordo said, epoxy primer is usually the way to go. But, you don't want to use it if it goes against DuPonts instructions for the particular paint you are using. You shouldn't try mixing brands of paint.
Now I know why I don't read the paint section more often: information overload! :lol: If it weren't for the fact the paint codes are availabe for Dupont, I'd blow a few cobwebs off my head [and some empty cans I saved for that exact purpose] and go PPG epoxy; regardless though, all the primers I looked at from Dupont are compatible with any of the topcoats noted here.
As far as covering the tight spots with topcoat; wouldn't it be more correct not to [though a couple features will be correct for nostalgia rather than factory anyway: rubber cutoffs, straps instead of curtains, and a farm mounted throttle for the P300 governor]? I presume these were painted fully assembled, not?
As to why I was thinking primer disassembled inspite of that though was preventing rust from getting in places I'd rather it didn't (a perfect example that comes to mind is between the fuel&water tanks and the support pan).

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
