I live n tx, gets very hot here. as a matter of fact i was even thinking of doing the interior paint with the engine enamel paint. need comment b4 i proceed please comment. i will post pix when i figure out how 2.{/TD}{/TR}{TR UNABLE="on" hb_tag="1"}{TD style="FONT-SIZE: 1pt" height=1 UNABLE="on"}{DIV id=hotbar_promo}{/DIV}{/TD}{/TR}{/T}{/TABLE}{div style="width:240px;border-bottom:1px solid #eeeeee;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:0px;"}{/div}{span style="font-size:.70em;line-height:1.2em;color:#000000;"}superman{/span}

I dont think you will need engine primer unless it gets 300+ degs. In your car.What your looking for is any type

of high build auto primer will do you just fine. Do not get etching primer it is for bare metal. Your looking for a high build primer. This will fill in all you little sanding marks You will need about 3 coats. Then If you want

wet sand with 600 grit then spray one final coat of primer. You should have a glass smooth finish.

They make a high build primer in spray cans also, And yes you can spray over the other primer 1 light coat

2 med. coats should cover all your imperfections. If not add a few more coats. Your prep surface makes the

paint job
