Well I'm pretty much done with my body work on my car. At least i think. My buddy has a whole gallon of some cheap Napa primer that I could use. I don't wanna spray the whole car with it, just the spots where I molded things to make sure the area is flat and smooth. Soon I'm gonna buy some good primer but wanted to know if after sanding, would spraying the good primer kind of defeat the purpose of it over this cheap stuff?
 
Yes spraying over primer would defeat the purpose, if this is your first time doing body work I suggest you get some high build primer, that also serves as a scratch filler, you dont need a whole gallon either, if you dont need to prime the whole car and just spots, a quart should be enough.
