Walkingchaos – 1971BB427 is correct if the primer is not a “sealer primer” it will not seal out moisture and allow it to get down to the base sheetmetal. That’s why you see some primered cars driving around with rust bleeding through from underneath. That’s a great temporary shelter for an excellent deal! We wonder how it would hold up to a snowy MA winter.
We’ll keep watching your project.

The SPI epoxy I shot on my car is a sealer. For what they charge I couldn't go wrong. I wanna say it was $120 for a gallon of prmer and reducer, shipped to my door. It mixes 1:1 so you actually have 2 gallons of sprayable material.

I have read that cars have sat for years outside without issues wearing SPI.

They need to go on the wall of shame. If you don't have one start one. Its fun.
