quite honestly primer is just a wast of time with this method and THIS paint, remember what it's called, and what it's original intent is for. primer just adds work, and helps those who are insecure sleep like little babies!!!, if you do prime, it's only adding a extra layer of paint that adds to less structual stability, and allows the paint to chip eaiser than without primer, and a thin layer of paint. this paint is allready formulated to be painted over rusted metal, auto paints are not, that's where the primer comes in (not to be used over rust) but you get my point. i would absoultly never strip a car to bare metal UNLESS: paint is peeling/cracking, or there is allready over 3 layers of previous paint jobs, even in the later case i would only strip down to the last "original" paint, and go over that, you can tell when your fixing rust, where and how many layers of paint there are on the car.





Well its not really that im 'insecure' over the paint. It is just that i don't actually want to paint a color red/blue/green/etc at the moment, and i dont want to worry about polishing the finish and such. I want the car one color. I'd rather not worry about peel, wetsanding, or polishing. If i can thin the primer, roll it on and not have a care for orange peel or polishing? thats what i'm looking for at the moment.

So how is it thinned?

Thanks.
