Primer is porous, meaning it will soak up water like a sponge. It will let water get to the metal under the primer and rust. It will also let water get to any filler you have used, that is also porous, and cause you much more work than just scuff it up and prime it again. If you try and seal it and maby miss a little or don't get an edge completely the water will get between the primer and sealer and you will have to strip it, prime it and reseal it again. No good solution besides prime it, seal it and paint it all at one time.

This always gets me, alot of people around this area love to do it too. They will spend all kind of time doing body work just to prime it then drive it until they can paint it. By then, it is WORSE then when they started.

If you are just going to prime it and park it, you might be ok but it would still have to be inside and dry. If you plan to leave it outside, you really should paint it. If you were closer I know a few people that do it for cheap that are relatives and do a good job. If I didn't have my car in the garage I could do it as well.

There is an awesome thread on Corral.net showing all the steps of doing a paint job on a GT definitely worth looking at. I'll look for the thread, the guys father helped him.

Hahaha, no I'd say more of the K-ville, Wiggletown, Altona area. And probably Beekmantown too, when I lived on Wallace Hill I saw alot of cars down that way that were beautiful creations.

Yup. It's funny because right after you sent me that super special, out of the blue, just because you care, text, the truck drove by me. I wasn't quick enough with the phone.

LMAO, ya I was sitting out in the grass with my dog chilling out. He decided he wanted to lay in the grass, and him being in the shape he is I decided I might as well hang out for awhile with him. Then I went to Chazy and changed a fuel filter and air filter on an F150 for my gf's friend's bf...

Well next time your out this way, send me another super special text. I was in Cooperville most of the day but we are done in the fields so I should be full time back here in the shop.
