paint job

I was wondering what type of primer this is and how to apply it. Also, if i take it to a paint shop can they just spray over it, or will they have to resand. And how does this type of primer stand up to the elements?

The way the car is right now, its ready for paint. they Might have to spray a flexible primer on the bumpers but a can of that stuff is like 9 dollars. Its gonna look good when its done.

if you're not going to take it straight to the painters afterwards, a good shop would resand anyway, but just probably wet-sand unless you got chips in it

but when it comes to prep work...unless you REALLY know how to do it, then leave it to the pros, since it's the prep work that's the most important stage of hte process

Well, the thing is, that (most) primer absorbs water, so, the longer you drive it around, the more and more the chances of it needing to be totally redone increase. So, unless, it's a very short time, or you just leave it in a nice dry environment, I would want it sanded down and redone before I put my base color over the top.

so does anyone know if this is just spray primer like krylon or what?

Here's what you can do: Go buy a can of Acetone. Pour some one a rag and try wiping part of the primer with it. If it comes off, than it is crappy rattle can primer. IF it stays down, and doesn't come off on the rag, it is real, non-crappy primer.
