[T3] Primer


If you don't plan to paint the car for a while then I would (without
question) use an epoxy primer.  One it seals against the elements, and
two it can spray over bare metal, oem paint, body work etc... Then you
can actually use glazing putty to fill in your body work right over the
epoxy primer.   You can get cheap epoxy primer from your local auto body
supply, try PPG OMNI brand, it is about $60 a agallon.    If you use
rattle can primer, you are basically going to ruin your car by letting
it rust.  If you are going to go as far as buy a gallon of primer, might
as well spend $15 on a quart of PPG OMNI single stage acrylic enamel and
another $15 on the reducer and spray 2-3 coats of paint.. This would be
the equiv of a maaco paint job, but will cost you less, might not last
5-10 years, but it will by FAR outlast primer.  Don't kill your VW!!
PLEASE!
