Use any 2 component sealer before you apply the color/clear. Todays 'E-Coat Primers' are much better than they used to be because of stricter gov't regulations. If it has a yellow "CAPA" sticker on the backside then its as good as it gets. Unless you buy OEM. 1969 Dodge Super Bee Hardtop 2007 Nissan Altima 3.5SE
