I got some rust repair to do. I don't have any experience with painting cars but I'm going to try to prep my car little by little and have it repainted eventually. I would try to paint it mself but I want to keep the stock color which is metallic and to be realistic I doubt if I could get good results the first time out. So for rust protection I figure an epoxy primer would be best. But I would need to have a sandable primer because I'm going to be going over it time and again. Also, I don't plan on stripping it down to bare metal but instead painting over the good paint. from what I understand, metallic paint needs to have a solid color underneath or it will show thru. here's what my car looks like:
So, will a red sandable epoxy primer be what I need? Any recommendations? Thanks
