Time for a bit of paint.

[jmac]

I have finally got round to getting a couple of pallets of grit for the blaster, so it's time for the chieftain low loader and foster grain trailer to get spruced up ?.  The foster has really bad surface rust (as most of them do) so could prob do with some high build primer first? What paint would you recommend and what supplier? Cheers.

Am I right in thinking you don't need undercoat with rustoleum ?

You can if you want. I didn’t bother as just doing a tarting up job.
Came up surprisingly well and drys quite hard.

Normally use synthetic on big area`s , it stays wet long enough to get right around and back to the start so you dont get that big dusty/dry join. Also worth getting a pressure pot so you dont have to keep stopping and filling the gun. this one holds about two gallons.

Painted some railing 10 years ago with it and just starting to rust in a couple of places. Only trouble with it is when you start you have to keep going remember stop to answer phone and paint brush went solid.

The pressure pot looks like a good idea, don't think my spray gun holds more than 1ltr.
