I have used VHT Self Etching Primer with excellent results on aluminum rims.

I would say to use Wurth or Eastwood High Zinc content weld thru primer in cans to give the benefits which a zinc hot dip would've done if they did that back at the factory (never on 914s, but 76> they did for the other P-cars).
I think that whenever you're ready to paint, then you can prime with a 2-part epoxy primer/etc. over it, but the zinc primer will protect the bare metal. I've used the Wurth one on all of the body & part surfaces on my 73, as I've gone thru & wire wheeled off the surface rust areas, to "freeze" any further damage.

There's no way I would spend the time and money to have my car blasted only to cover it up with a rattle can primer.
Two part primer is the way to go. |

Best to use a epoxy 2 part Southern polyurethanes hot rodders love the stuff, me too. |

100% do 2-part epoxy.
You can get it in a rattle can, with the little button on the bottom to activate. |

Yea its no problem to stop at the paint store,.and Iam sure that is the smartest thing to do,..Thanks I have been shooting two or three coats of Matrix Epoxy Primer as my base over sanded prepped surface or bare metal. Even shot it over areas that I did rust conversion on. Does not come in a rattle can but is fairly easy to spray with inexpensive spray settup and just like all paints wear a good mask as it is very toxic to breath. You should let it dry for several days too so all the solvents can release. |

I used some DuPont Epoxy in rattle can. Get 6 at a time in tall cans at Auto Paint store. Price is not bad.
