Another question concerning the use of rustoleum primer. I'm going to use the primer because I have some bodywork to cover up, as well as a lot of rust and a couple different colors of body panels. My question is, do you thin the primer the same as you do the paint?



I would go straight from the can. This will give you a sufficient build of a primer layer so that you can then do a very very light sanding to smooth the primed surface. Smoothest is bestest.. right.

You could go with an 800 or 1200 wet sanding on the primer layer - but be sure to allow the sanded primer layer sufficient time to dry out fully before laying your first coat of paint on it.
