1968 Malibu

[Joker2017]

So here is my next question, would it be better to throw a rattle can coat of basic auto paint on there after the primer to hold me over until I am ready for high $$$ paint? My final goal is to replace all metal needed. Then I am hoping to do a decent home paint job myself. Again, I am in the military and we don't get paid well, so I am doing this all on a very tight budget. I am in no hurry for the final product but want to enjoy iy in the meantime as well.

That's a tough call. If you only put primer on there is a chance of rust depending on humidity. If you throw on a coat of primer and a cheap top coat, how much work will it take to prep it again for a good top coat. Not being a painter I don't know. Hopefully someone here with some painting experience can answer.

Before I forget again, thank you for your service to our country.
