I currently have my car down to bare metal in few places trying to get the car ready for a decent garage paint job - I need to protect these areas from "Flash" rust, and was hoping to do this by using Rustoleum (sp) Auto primer, or maybe their etching primer - I do NOT want to have to take this off again, in order to spray with the PPG stuff, but I will spray the PPG on top of it as long as I don't have issues with the paint long term if I do this - Could you guys who have experience in the industry let me know if I will be OK long term, or am I going to regret this down the road... ???

TIA

NO!

I learned the hard way. PPG primer (at least, MP-170 epoxy) is incompatible with rustoleum aerosol primer. Minutes after I put down the epoxy it lifted. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) I had to wait for it to dry and then sand it all off again.

You could consider brushing on the primer if you're worried about setting up the gun + cleaning it. But what you save in setup + clean time you lose later in sanding.
