Ok, next question. This is the hood on my truck. I had sanded it to bare metal and shot it with Rustoleum rattle can primer a year or so ago. As you can see now, it has a few spots of rust. I just replaced the left fender and before I put it on, I filled the emblem holes, covered it all with rattle can primer, sanded it good, then rolled it with Rustoleum rusty metal primer.
My actual question is, do I need to resand the hood before I roll it with the rusty metal primer, or can I just roll it as is?
Ok... IF your hood presently has rust stains showing through the spray on primer... then I would resand it down to rid as much of that rusty surface as possible.
I would next go to the canned primer and roll it on. I don't think I would go with the spray can primer, as I don't have much faith in it for truly sealing oxygen from getting to the rust sites. Starve the rust of oxygen and it can't grow or spread.
Then sand that primered surface to get it a nice dull but extremely smooth surface upon which you can lay your coats of paint on to.

alright its finnaly time for some updates. Apparently lowes screwed me and gave me the wrong kind of primer, the guy handed me latex so I had to spray rusto primer from a can onto the car. All of the primerd spots of the car means that the bondo is done there. roof left side of the deck lid still needs more work right side of the car is fully done. its getting there, slowely but shurly.
a car is never "done"

If you have a spray gun just go down to your local autoparts store and get a quart of Dupilcolor gray lacquer primer along with some lacquer thinner and shoot the car, then a light sand tack rag and start rolling. Look at the door then the rest I fully primed the door & the coverage was much better.

Read your guide Marq,and have some questions about Brightside. Sorry about my rusty english.
1.Original paint is good, no rust or flaking. I'm not sure what primer i must use. INTERLUX PRE-KOTE or YACHT PRIMER? What is the difference between these two? And can something happend when i'm using a 1k primer when the original paint on my car is 2k? Chemical reaction?
2.Do i have to sand the whole car before i apply INTERLUX PRE-KOTE or YACHT PRIMER? Can i just sand away paint that is a little higher than the rest after some touch-up over the years? Original paint is pretty good. I'm going to wash the car first with soap, then use some grease remover a couple of times.
3.If i sand through to metal when preparing the car, must i use a different primer than INTERLUX?
4.Is it better to use dry paper than wetsanding the INTERLUX PRE-KOTE or YACHT PRIMER?
5.I've read the manual (PRE-KOTE and Brightside), and i'm a little unsure about the drying time and laying the first coat of paint. I'm going to paint the car outside, so if it rains a couple of days i must wait to apply the first coat of paint. But in the manual it says this(pre-kote, UK manual): Apply 1-2 coats. If maximum overcoating time of previous coating/primer is exceeded, abrade using 220-320 grade wet or dry paper. How important is it to follow the manual in this case? Dp i really have to sand down the primer if i exceed the overcoating time?
6.When using thinner NR333 with a cloth before laying a new coat of paint, how long must i wait before painting?
7.When sanding, do you sand up and down, circles? Is there a special direction you sand?
8. How important is it to use High Density Foam Rollers? I'm not sure what i can get here in Norway.
Hope you can answer some of the questions. Thanks!

I don't see why not. Especially if you're going with Canvas White. My Jeep still had the original paint with no bare metal so I skipped the primer and just hit it with 400 before starting to roll. How's it going? Any more pics?

Do you guys strongly suggest a roll-on primer before the paint? If its bare metal you are rolling the paint on, what do you sand it to for best adhension? what about if your applying the new paint on old paint, then what do you sand to? Thanks

No I'm not, the only thing is you can't put lacquer or enamel over it. I used the rusty metal primer of my truck wothout any problem's I also used lacquer primer on my door and a few other places its all good.
