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 Cletrac General GG and the BF Avery A - A Bit of History - by Mike Ballash. This article is a summary of what I have gathered up from various sources on the Gletrac General GG and the B. F. Avery model A tractors. I am quite sure that most of it is accurate. The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
