Thread Name: Tech: Rustoleum Auto Primer
Subject: Tech: Rustoleum Auto Primer
I am building a 1930 Ford Model A pickup street rod. I have used Rustoleum Automobile Primer on it and really like it.

I am now getting ready to paint the vehicle. When I tell paint stores that I used Rustoleum Automobile Primer they look at me cross-eyed. When I ask them if Acrylic Enamel or Urethane Enamel or Polyurethane Enamel is compatible with this primer they just shrug their shoulders. I have contacted Rustoleum twice and get no solid answers. All they tell me is it is compatible with Rustoleum oil based enamels.

What do you know about this primer? What kind of topcoat is it compatible with? Can I use auto acrylic enamels as a topcoat over the Rustoleum Auto Primer? Help?

Thanks.
