napa's $100 per quart primer FTW!

i sprayed the car with NAPA's automotive primer. with the cost of one quart, reducers/hardener, it was $101.00 this **** is off the hook!! beads water off just like paint and if prepped good and sprayed well feels just like paint!! shines and reflects ( more like a cheaper macco job! ) but for primer thats amazing! and super durable! check it!


newest pic of car with turbo wing lowered more and matching set of s14 SE wheels!



about a month old,

I was told that primer absorbs water so if you don't top coat it your cars gonna start rusting.

You wont be able to see the rust until its too late, paint your car right, for the 7 sake. Single stage automotive paint can be bought for VERY reasonable prices. In ANY color you want!

$100 per rts quart aint cheap either, thats obviously $400 per gallon of rts primer.
You will want to paint the car though, primer contains no protective qualities that paint does.

oh i am going to paint it spring time...but to whoever said it absorbs water...lol you must obviously be confused with wal-mart rattle can primer...this beads water off identically like paint, doesn't absorb at all...this is the real deal when it comes to primer.

Ya man no problem I think it looks great! Really clean, and it's your car dude so who cares what they think. do you have a better motor pick though? That one is hard to see, what V8 is it?
