Well I had a plan to just have a local shop I know spray my dart in just a flat black primer so i can upgrade it without having to try and avoid ruining a high dollar paint job(I plan to fix the body rust, then paint it flat black, then I'll be doing upgrades-alterktion, 4 link rear, tubbed rear wheel wells, frame connectors, torque boxes, etc.- then disassembling the whole car and sending the body parts out for paint) but the guys on trucks said today on the show while they are painting there ford flat black said that the flat black paint if using anything other then this 3 stage(primer, paint, flat clear coat?) flat black paint you'll trap water molecules(something like that) in the paint and causes rust quicker. I ask because my car will be in black primer for probably at least 3 years before I get to the stages of painting it So I don't want the body panels that I'll end up paying a pretty penny for to rust in that time frame(I need to do quarter panels, rocker panels, and fenders)
So do they have any proof to their claim? they simply said it will cause paint to rust quicker so I'm concerned. I'd really like to get my car to driving condition(my old lady is saying that if It doesn't drive I don't need it-refering to vehicles at least) The cars a good solid car it's got amazingly immaculate floorboards they do not have a spot of rust on them ether its just the body has some holes. top of the fender, behind the wheel well on the fender, the door is rusting on both sides at the seam at the back, the bottom of both quarter panels are rusting and theres holes in the rockers. Everything else is solid as far as I can tell theres no rust around the windows ether so i want to protect that so i think I'll use por-15 first then get it sprayed in a moderately priced primer(not spray can but no 3 stage paint deal)
