Primer is porous so will soak up water like a sponge if it rains, as far as I know hardcor3 is the man to speak to :)

You can respray parts of a car in a day if you really want too. (A whole car if you have the facilities) Just prime it up then lay down a few coats of colour. Will be tickety boo.  :cool:

hey
i was going to get rid of a rust spot on the back side of my o/f front wheel arch........ I'm going to sand it down and the like its just i was thinking that if i pay to get it sprayed it will be a waste because when iv done all the work to the body I'm going to get a complet reapray. so in the mean time i was going to base coat it and leave it.....is it OK to do this and drive round with just the base coat showing?????
cheers tigger......BOO to you to ! :laugh: :tongue:
