| |
| − | #If the existing paint isn't peeling, or doesn't have large amounts of rust, then no primer is necessary. Sand with extra fine grit sand paper, wipe with a clean cloth, and then apply JDBB paint.
| |
| − | #For spraying with an HVLP gun, use a 1.4 or 1.5 tip.
| |
| − | #If a primer is needed, JDBB primer is recommended (it's available in spray cans, quarts, and gallons). Wait 36 hours after applying primer to apply paint.
| |
| − | #John Deere thinner is needed, at a mix ratio of 8 parts JDBB paint:1 part John Deere thinner.
| |
| − | #For faster-drying and harder paint, John Deere hardener can be used. It's available in pints. When using the hardener, the mix ratio is 8 parts JDBB paint:1 part John Deere thinner:1 part John Deere hardener.
| |
| − | #Spray one light tack coat, wait 10-15 minutes, and shoot the full wet coat.
| |
| − | #Wait no longer than 3 hours to apply a second coat. However, one coat with the 8:1:1 paint-thinner-hardener ratio should be adequate.
