Are you going to be laying any primer after this before paint? Are you going to be sanding this down to see where your at body wise, then fixing any imperfections and laying another coat of primer after?
If your using bondo at this stage, you should go with a high fill primer, you dont have to use a sealer, however there are many that do both functions (read the label, if they dont say "sealer" they are not a sealing primer). Then later when the car is block sanded and all imperfections fixed, you can spray a primer sealer. A high fill primer(typically says "high fill 2k") when sprayed at full strength is almost like spraying on a thin layer of bondo. And typically a non sealing primer will be cheaper than a sealing primer. Sidenote: Your primer sealer, or the primer prior to spraying paint, should be as close (on a greyscale) to the paint color as you can be (aka if you are spraying a bright yellow, it should be a white primer, if you are spraying a black, it should be a black primer) |
