Gene:
Go to my post (same inquiry as on this forum) that I posted on the "Antique Tractor Paint and Bodywork" section of this forum. There are already some responses there.
On my wheels, I used the Case IH 2150 paint from my Case IH dealer. Actually, my painter used it. I bought the hardener and the reducer (may go by another name) and he mixed those three components and sprayed the wheels for me, after he sandblasted the wheels and then applied an epoxy primer.
I understand that the epoxy primers are the best primers.
Apparently, you have a 72 hour (3 day) window after shooting the epoxy primer to shoot the finish paint. Otherwise, you apparently need to "scuff up" the primer first.
I understand your concerns about the scratching things up when you paint piece by piece.
But, as you say, you can touch up.
Besides, if we are careful, I think it will work out ok.
I'm thinking about using a PPG acrylic enamel on my many smaller parts and then assembling them.
I will need something up to a year to complete my project, I think.
Lots of good advice on primers and paints on the board I mentioned above. Sometimes it's confusing too.
Best of luck.
Tom

Today's Featured Article - Experimental Tractors Article - by Danny Bowes (Dsl). Tractor technology appears to have nearly hit it's pinnacle of development. If you agreed with the subtitle, you are rather mistaken. Quite, actually. As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison. Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development ... [Read Article]
