You can get most of the paint off with oven cleaner if theres any on there before you start the electorlysis. As far as the primer and paint go theres lots of differant choices but since you dont want to spend a lot of money I would go with either the Tractor Supply paint (International Harvestor Red) or the paint from Case (2150).

You mentioned that your wanting to use spray paint (rattle can), that is someting I think you need to rethink, let me tell you why.....

On the cast parts you can brush the paint or primer on, theres no big advantage to useing a spray gun for those parts. On your sheet metal parts such as the hood, grill, fenders, bettery box, and gas tank I would get a inexpensive siphon type paint spray gun from a hardware store and maybe borrow an air compressor and go that route. The air compressor can be a small one cause your not going to need lots of pressure, you might have to take a minute break every now and then to let it build pressure back up. In the end you will come out saving money because the rattle can paint is going to get expensive plus I just dont think the rattle can paint is as good. Siphon guns are easy to use so dont be afraid to try one.

For your A you wont need a lot of paint. Wont take a gallon of paint and probly a half gallon or less of primer.

OK, there are a few times where I do like the rattle can paint. A sandable primer from Tractor Supply by Plasti-Kote that is real good for those small jobs like bolt heads. I also like the heat resistant woodstove black (by Plasti-Kote) paint for the manifold and the heat resistant aluminum engine enamel (by Plasti-Kote) paint for the rims, gas cap, radiator cap, and muffler.

If you were close I would sure let you have some left over paint I have. Would even let you borrow the compressor and paint gun.
