That's what I did, charlie. I sprayed my sealer then top coated over that. Its flash time was 20 mins. Which I hate.

[zanepetty 117]

Got all the steering components, pulleys and trans painted today. They look surprisingly nice!! No runs. The sag on the frame dried up to where you can barely notice it.

Looks pretty nice Zane...you getting ready to do the hood and seat pan??? 

[zanepetty 117]

I'm going to do the engine and starter tomorrow then the day after that I'm doing sheet metal!

[kudzu3 323]

Good job Zane! I'm sure looking forward to seeing the finished product, but... "you can't rush perfection".   

[zanepetty 117]

Finally repainted my hood AGAIN!! it turned out extra nice. I'm surprised now all I got left to do is my tool box that I just got in the mail, break caliper, wheels and seat pan. Then for reassembly..I'm getting scared..

[kudzu3 323]

Just sat down to relax after a busy day, turned on the computer and saw this. Wow!   What a great paint job! This put a smile on my face  . 

[zanepetty 117]

Thanks tommy. Glad to hear that I am extremely pleased. The pics inside make it look a little bit orange but its really not. I'm glad its over. Painting the hood is too stressful!

That really looks great Zane...WOW. 

[zanepetty 117]

Thanks friend!

[51Chevy 66]

Looks great I'm looking forward to seeing it finished

[zanepetty 117]

Thanks. Does anyone know where I can get a gasket that goes between the carb and back of the air filter housing?

[kudzu3 323]

I believe you can get gasket material from any auto parts store and make it yourself. If you can't find any, let me know and I'll send you a piece.

[zanepetty 117]

I don't know how to get the hole just right.

[zanepetty 117]

The decals vinylguy (terry) made me look absolutely amazing. Here's a few.

[rmaynard 14,897]

Looking great Zane.

[zanepetty 117]

Thanks , Bob. Work with my tractor has been slow the past week. I'm itching to put this project to rest so I can have my tractor again.

[kudzu3 323]

That's nice, I didn't know you could get that stuff.

[zanepetty 117]

Zane what type of paint are you using it looks good. I want to use a good quality paint. Is it true that you have to paint over primer very soon after it is applied?

[zanepetty 117]

I'm using classic series viper red. I believe ae10 is the paint code. That is true. You want to do a wet on wet application. If not you'll have to sand your primer which takes a while and if you sand through in spots, your top coat won't have an even color.

[redrooster 83]

Does this mean I can not take several weeks sand blasting parts spraying them with primer and than painting them.

Also where did you purchase the paint you used?

[zanepetty 117]

Well its up to you. If you did that you'd need to scuff up the primer before you paint the part. Or if you sanded through you'd want to recoat with primer or sealer then let it tack then spray the color. Also if you prime the pieces and then scuff them up and do go through down to metal it will rust quick. Just be careful I got my paint though a family friend who has a body shop so I don't know where it came from. But Napa has paint called crossfire and its good. Some o' rielys sell automotive finishes. You could check there.
