Primer out in the weather

[Steve Stegmann <stegmann@domain.elided>]

The thing about primer is that it doesn't seal anything.  It has two jobs 
on an automotive finish.  

1- It is a binder coating.  So the topcoat can stick.  Note that if part 
of the vehicle is fg and part is steel you will normally need two kinds 
of primer.

2- Some serve as a realatively thick layer so you can sand it to remove 
slight imperfections.

Never let the primer get out in the weather.  You can have rust start 
under the primer since it doesn't seal worth beans.
