I have been using a RustOleum primer for clean, slightly rusted metal, it is white in color,dries to the touch in a few hours and seems to brush into the pits in castings well. So far I like it. I clean all grease, wire brush by hand, or angle grinder with cup wheel, or wire wheel in electric drill. The drill brushes vary from 7 or 8" dia. to 2 or 3" dia. depending on the surface to be cleaned and the ease of getting into the corners. I think hand brushing gets deeper into the pits as the indiviual wires don't pass over them so fast and have time to get deeper. If sandblasting try and get ALL the sand dust out of everything before painting. I have been using a True Value orange for my finish coat on my AC WD. It seems close to AC orange and I am not after an exact match. It tooseems like good paint, I know some of the two part paints will last better and be tougher, but this is what I am doing.
