The sealer works, if it provides good coverage. If you want it perfectly flat, go over the whole car with a 2k primer, then block it down, that way it'll all be the same color, then seal it, then paint it.

Some of the custom paint manufacturers recommend going with the same brand paint and primer. It doesn't matter all too much, in terms of adhesion, as long as the primer is fully cured (with a catalyst) and prepared appropriately.

would you guys suggest doing this outside? Im not looking to make the car look spotless cause it's going to be a flat army green anyway.
