Ryan, primer will soak up moister over time and cause more surface rust than what you had before hand, if you plan on leaving it outside over the winter I would not leave the car in primer. Just so I don't sound like a douch I do paint and body as a second income and I'm alot better at that than I ever will be at the mechanic side of the mustang.

yeah i know this...but my budget is running thin and im nor boring any money from my parents...the car is mine as of last week...paid in full and all money that i have borrowed from them is paid back...2,2xx and that was for the rest of my car but i was tired of hearing my dad bitch and said here......

maybe next year ill paint it..idk ill figure it out later...only would be in primer for 3-5 months so we will see....id kinda like to get the 5 lug swap done first...whats some more sanding going to do....wouldnt be the first time...
