If I decided to just primer the old coupe with Tremclad grey primer for the time being, should this also be thinned or should I use it directly out of the can, or should it be thinned only a little, the primer would be sanded before finishing bodywork and paint anyway. Is Tremclad primer really a primer or is it just an alkyd based flat rust paint.
I did experiment with a couple of panels, I found the primer when thinned, would run easy and if you cleaned a roller and let it dry it was more difficult to work with., So far Ilike the results of this test on my 48 Chrys, will probably be priming the whole car with Tremclad grey primer, this of course after eve rything is sanded and worked, panel by panel.
Any advice or suggestions welcome..Thanx
