i am finaly done fixing the swiss cheeze on the car , it is all gone, i will be soda blasting the car within a couple of days and i will be putting the primer on myself to be able to do the most of the body work myself and i have looked into the different primer and now i am confused?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) i will be using the omni line of paint from PPG and there is a couple of different primer--
the epoxy etch, but it contains chrome ( very toxic) so reject as i have a home made paint booth
the regular epoxy but apparently it is not sandable ( wtf it means)
then there is the high build 1K no epoxy ??
then the high build 2K epoxy

the car is strait and very little pitting on the outside i had to joint the quater panel half way and i did a couple of patch but they are but weld so very little bondo

what is the best price versus quality way to do??

I know i have to primer, putty, primer and then paint , which one should I use for which

thanks you very much for your help
