OneFastEGg, how does the primer job hold up to the elements, looks stealth, might have to rock one for a while till i can afford a nice paint job, just wondering how it hold up to rain and such, washing etc...????

thanks

i wouldn't reccomend priming your car and not painting it because it has a high amount of charcoal in it (cellulose kind like in picture) and it holds in moisture, so when you go to paint it guess what, it still corrodes under the paint. If you wanted to prime it and wait until you get paint on it then i would go for a polyurethane primer. They don't hold moisture in and looks a hell of alot better. No offense to anyone by the way, i am a painter so it's just a suggestion.

Damn.. good info. Wish I would have known that before... any tips on what to do if you have had your car primered for a while and are going to paint soon?

yeah i would sand it down really well and they have rust inhibitor(spelling?) you can spray on it'll be ok. then just do like you usually do, i am putting up in the DIY section next week (when i have a week off) a do it yourself paint, so then i will explain everything i do when i paint. Well hope that helps

DON"T PRIMER YOUR CAR, Unless your painting right away i have to sand it almost every other week until i put it away. It does look descent though for some reason, i have some more pics were it looks REALLY good, hit me up on AIM OneFastEGG
