How do I prepare my truck for painting?
Dry sand using 180-grit sandpaper to remove rust or surface damage before moving on to a 320-grit paper to remove your previous 180-grit scratches. Whichever method that you decide, follow it up using 400- to 600-grit sandpaper to sand the paint to prep the existing paint surface for the new coatings to be applied.
Does implement paint need primer?
All surfaces that you want to paint with Majic Paint need to be primed first. When you prime, remember to prime with a light color, and for tractors, it’s usually best to apply at least three coats of primer.
Does tractor paint need clear coat?
In most cases, two to three coats of base color are recommended, followed by a minimum of two coats of clear coat for both protection and shine. A base coat of clear – coat finish can get rather expensive, which is the reason why many tractor restorers use two different types of finish on the same tractor.
Can I just paint over old paint?
How Do I Paint Over Painted Walls? If the wall is in good condition and the paints are chemically the same (both latex, for instance), you have a few options when the new paint is the opposite shade of the old paint. You can use a primer to thoroughly cover the old color, then apply 1 or 2 coats of the new paint.
Should I wet sand primer before painting?
We wet sand our primer prior to painting, we’ve been doing it in this manor for about 40 years and have never had a problem with moisture. Of course we allow the surface to dry well before painting. Wet sandpaper cuts more evenly because the residue from sanding does not collect on on the paper while sanding.

Do you put hardener in clear coat?
The clear coat paint needs to be used within a few hours or else it will harden. Always use both acrylic hardener and acrylic reducer. The higher the level of hardener, the faster your paint will dry. If you are looking to have a quicker-drying clear coat, add additional hardener.
