Paint/bodywork question, Lou's update got me thinkin' Options

[URY914]

I'm about ready to prime and paint my car and the question is...

Do you think I REALLY need to prime it?

a. It is a race car so the paint only needs to look good from 15 feet. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

b. It is fiberglass. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

c. Let me say it before someone else does: It will add weight. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Now will the finish coat stick w/o a primer? Or do I need a primer over f/g?

I plan on using a Du Pont Nason product called Astron synthetic enamal with a hardener. It's a inexpensive (cheap) paint brand.

Whata ya think???

[QUOTE] could spray on some light coats and wait a few hours and shoot the finish. Right?

I am questioning the wait a few hours for finish coats, you should only let the paint tack up between coats for better stick..less chance of contamination and defects in the finished product. Check with paint manufacturer...longer for cold climates also
