primer

as the weather gets nicer, I want to get my car all one shade of primer

the way I'm gonna go about this is by making a make-shift spray booth, nothing extreme, just to kill the wind mostly as I'm gonna be doing this outside. now, I know how to spray a car, but I dont know much about mixing paint or primer. I know there are a few people on here that have experience with this sort of thing, so I figured I'd ask.


what kind of primer should I use? the car will most likely be wearing it for a while so I'd need something that will last a while.

where to buy? I dont know of any place to buy automotive finish products, mostly because I haven't looked around. anyone have a preferred place to buy paint, primer and supplies?

I'll be using a gravity feed HVLP gun, anything special to take into consideration? I've shot siphon feed non-HVLP guns and gravity feed HVLP guns, but the HVLP guns I shot were at school in a really nice semi-downdraft booth with the pressure regulators already set up for me.



any other bits of wisdom you can pass on to me would be much appreciated as well. thanks in advance!
