Project Fc update.. 500 miles on Re re Rebuild "the Skittle"
Well it has been a while since ive updated on the skittle, so i just rolled 500 miles today and took a compression test and it came in at Front rotor 95 3 pulses and Rear rotor 100 3 pulses. the engine is running Really good, Great oil pressure, not much blow buy at all, never floods, never dosent start, no smoking, runs strong.. some goodies ive bought/ orderd are KYB struts and RB springs(installed) vand RB cat back waiting to be shipped.. as far as paint it aint gonna happen anytime soon since i got a new money pic(96 subaru imprza) but all and all i think i finnaly built a good engine and the fc is running Great!!!

^see thats what i thought.
From what i understand, the primer does a really good job of sticking to the metal on the car, but doesnt fair well against the elements, thats what the second coat of paint is for...

My car is all done in primer (temporarily), besides, when you paint most of that primer will be wet sanded back off. To go over bare metal you just need to use a self etching primer then your sealer/high build primer before paint....

And no, not all primer is fine against the elements.
Some may be fine, i am not sure, but i know there is alot of it used that is only waterproof for 24 (maybe it was 48) hours after it's dried. After that it can absorb moisture like said above.
