Default What is a good primer to use?

Hey guys,
I am sanding down mycar and looking for a good primer to use on it. Any ideas of the best brand, where to get it and how much it will cost? I am planning on using a booth and sprayer, not the stuff in a can.

Default RE: What is a good primer to use?

I painted the back half of my car a while back (rust and a light pole) and when I went to get the paint for it, I asked for some primer too and the sales person said the stuff in the can is just as good. I've done parts of two cars with it and haven't had any problems with it. In your case however, it might be more economical to buy the stuff to use in the spray gun. Anything by DuPont is going to be good. That said, it probably won't make much of a difference as to which brand you use. The way you put it on, how you sand it, humidity and temperature are going to matter more.
Be sure to throw down some self etching primer first and to do some good sanding.
