Rat rod primer
Okay so heres the deal; my truck's rebuild is on quite the budget and therfore I have made the realization that for while, she is gonna have to just ber primer. Although that does kinda suck, I was wondering if I could use black primer and eventually paint a basecoat of orange over it and then a clear coat and have it still come out orange? Or since the primer is so dark would I have to take it down to bare metal... again?
Just wondering. I think it would look really good in primer black with green flames or green yenko stripes this one is mine...

Re: Rat rod primer
You have to realize that if you run what is truly a "primer", it will oxidize over time with the exposure to the sun. The amount of time and sun damage will affect the way you treat it. If it is not too bad, you might get by with sanding and sealing before you shoot the color. If you seal with a lighter shade, the black won't have much of an effect. If it is too bad, it might require more intense sanding and repriming.

Re: Rat rod primer
Sand your bare metal with 80gt,clean with grease & wax remover,spray 2 coats of Southern Polyurethanes,(SPI), Black EPOXY primer with a 1.4 tip gun and drive it.
You may decide to leave it with this as it's a killer flat black BUT, It will chalk on you over time BUT, THIS does NOT degrade IT'S effectivness. You can resand with 180,clean and either do bodywork and reprime with the White epoxy and block it out or just reprime with White,sand with 4-600 and shoot your Orange.You cut thru to bare and just respot the epoxy. Epoxy is the ONLY primer you can shoot and drive with and expect NO rust or contamination with.Not all epoxies are created equal and some end up being like concrete after a month but SPI's epoxy is just WAY beyond most ANY on the market.
