If you use rustoleum on the outside external surfaces of your car you will regret it. You cannot get the finish with it, as compared to real auto paint. Their are lots of doubts as to how it will hold up on autos.

Epoxy primer, is a sealer and bonding agent. Epoxy primer adheres excellently to bare metal, is a great anti rust agent, and is a great sealer when painting over other unknown surfaces, and can be top coated with many types of auto paint, and fillers.

Do it right, the first time, after putting all that work into it. just my 02.

I hear you man. U get what u pay for. Painted my buddy's car with rustoleum white. Looks okay to me. Definitely doesn't hold up like newer cars. Stains easily. But 150 in materials is cheap. Ive been using " ospho" to remove rust and its supposed to be compatible with oil based paints. When I use it on bare metal it stops surfast rust. Was planning on ospho for the whole car then rustoleum. Still working out a plan.
