Hey I'm wondering if it is safe to leave my car primered...it's black and I'm planning on painting it black...I just don't know when...so my question is should I leave it primered...or get some cans of black enamel to give it a protective coat?

 

Please guys...I have to drive 2.5 hours tonight...am I ok?

 

YOU'RE OK.

 

Thanks...although I'm not it's humid here and I don't want a bunch of bugs to get stuck on my front bumper and then not come off...

 

if theres any problems just sand, and re-primer.

 

Since primer does not seal against moisture, don't drive it in the rain!!!! If that's not a problem, then yes, you can drive it without worry. IMO.

 

the primer I have is rust resistant...which I'm sure doesn't mean waterproof...but I'll hold until I get it painted...

 

It depends on what type of primer you used. If it's laquer (which I would never use) It's not going to hold up in the rain. If it's a 2K 2 part primer, you'll be fine. To make it simple, if it came out of a spray can, it's garbage.

 

ouch...that sucks...couldn't afford the good stuff...so I guess I'll have to get it painted pronto

 

cheap Primer is like a sponge for moisture!

 

its all good dude! jus leave it primered till u can afford the real deal...my car is primered white, and will be gettin a white paint job when i gets the money....but i heard that primer absorbs moisture, and may cause rust, but my cars been ok for now for about 3 months now, jus as long as u wet sanded the last layer of that primer off and leave it smooth...well, i dunno if that helps, but itll do fine till the mean times!... ....i guess

 

thanks guys appreciate the info
