I too have questions about paint quality or finish quality I should say.
I take the tractors I re-do and steamclean them after spraying down with oven cleaner and sanding where needed with sand paper. I usually don't use a primer unless the tractor is pretty rusty.
I use a top feed HVLP gun with Acrylic Enamel paint (Valspar) from Tractor Supply. I put a medium hardner in it and a reducer as well.
The pictures below are what I have a question about. My finish doesn't seem to come out in a consistent, smooth, clear fashion as the other finishes I've seen people paint on their tractors. In the 2 pictures, the same paint has been used (Valspar from Tractor Supply), but one has a Much Better finish (the tractor that has the canopy). For some reason my finish looks wet like the other one, but its not a consistent and smooth wet look, and it also looks "flashy" in places and dull in others.
Note: I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I don't use a water filter on my air hose, nor have I ever drained the tank on the compressor since we've owned it (approx. 15 yrs) but I'm sure its fine.
