You are saying you use the Rustoleum auto primer? And as to the paint, any
reason to use the economy rather than professional? Also, roller or spray?

Oh, yes it's stored inside, but a little damp.

Hi-

Well...from experience, is it stored inside?  I swear primer attracts rust
like a sponge.

I had no problems with the Rustoleum AUTO paint, it has a better working
surface from what I can tell.  

I'm doing the Rustoleum economy paint and can see the difference actually
between the two primers.

Well I've been sanding and heat gun stripping the paint and bondo from my
76. Things are moving well, and soon I hope to pull the engine and start on
patch panels.  
Can someone give me a tip or two on priming?  How should I prep the metal,
and what kind of primer should I use?  At this point, I just want to protect
the steel. Most of the areas will be bare metal, but not perfectly stripped.
I would prefer rattle cans and have no idea what kind of paint I will be
using.  I'm leaning towards rustoleum, but I do have a friend with a body
shop just 7 hours away...
