The best primer, in my opinion, and what I use, is catalyzed epoxy on a properly prepared surface (the catalysts used in most epoxys do not contain isocyanates) It can be directly topcoated on the cast, or you can use a surfacer over it if you want to smooth out the finish on the sheet metal. It does have a window of 2-3 days to a week that you must paint over it, or else you have to scuff and reapply. It can also be used as a sealer over properly prepared old paint. Etch primer is ok, but as noted you cannot directly topcoat it. Etch was really designed for new bare metal fenders, etc, in automotive applications, for production type body shops that do not want to take the time to sand, or to use some metal prep product. Done right, on tractors, you have already wire brushed or sanded the old paint off, so etch primer is really not needed. But, either is FAR superior to the lacquer or red oxide type primers, as these will not stick to the metal as well.
