Good Morning and Merry Christmas to all of you and thanks for your help through out the year.
I am posting about paint on this forum to get a broad coverage to my question, no pun intended, just turned out that way.
In the picture are my painting supplies. My results are not consistent so I will describe what I have been doing and ask for comments.
I turn the heat up to about 65 degrees in my shed and it is usually dry in there, even in the summer as I run de-humidifiers. All my painting is with spray cans of Enamel.
1. I use white rags and PPG cleaner, wax and oil cleaner, to get ready for primer. This seems to work well.
2a. I had used the JD Yellow Primer exclusively under the JD Topcoat but it does not seem to dry well under the JD Topcoat. I end up with a firm Topcoat and a soft Undercoat. Maybe I don't let the JD Yellow Primer dry long enough or I put it on too thick. I did use it on a 4020 engine once with a JD Topcoat and after two years it looks good. As I recall I let it dry much longer. I don't think I sanded in between. I normally don't sand in-between under and top coat.
2b. Lately I have been using the Rust-oleum Rust Reformer as a base or primer coat. I like the way it goes on, thinner, and am confident it is dealing with any rust in the pores of the metal. I have used the JD Topcoat with varying results. If I don't wait too long I think it works OK but the jury is out yet on that. I waited several days on a step kit before I put the JD Topcoat on, it did not seem to adhere as well. I put a step rail on one cold day, I got a couple flecks of green come off the black when I scratched it.
On yet another project I used the Rust-oleum Green Topcoat as recommended on the Rust Reformer can. It was thinner and seemed to adhere better although I did not let the Rust Reformer sit as long before I top coated it. It turned out real good. The color seemed a touch darker. My son warns me about it turning blue like the Farm & Fleet paint. Any experience with this?
3. As mentioned above my Topcoats have been the JD Green from JD and the JD Green from Rust-oleum. Does anyone have any longer term experience with the Rust-oleum green in sunlight or otherwise?
4. My son likes like the Rust-oleum Premier Primer. I am going to try that.
I suspect most of my issue is I am not consistent on how long I wait to Topcoat. Does anyone else put the JD-JD Green over a Rust-oleum product.
Mr. A-Case Guy, your paints look good, what do you do?
I would appreciate any and all comments. Sorry it is a little long.
