[Roadsters] primer

[d-solomon at comcast.net]

Several manufacturers make an etching epoxy primer-sealer.  The sealer will solve the porosity problem, and the etching solves the bare-metal problem.  However, it's not so great for 'filling'.  You'll still want a good glazing putty or similar for that.
