Hi I dont know if this is the right place to post it but here it goes im almost done sanding my car down to the metal and i have alot of questions hopefully someone can take their some time and help me out.. :)

1) do I clean the metal with degressor or what before i spray prime on it? 2) what is the yellowish stock prime used? where can i buy it? 3) All my bondo work should be done on the metal before i spray the yellowish prime? 4) How many coats of the yellowish prime should be applyed? thin layer then a really thick one? 5) i want my car with that flat black color for abit (no clear coat), is it a prime or is it a paint which i sand down wit a thin grid?

i swear i had more questions, when i think of them i will post them

thank u very much for ur input in advance.:D

1) I would use alcohol2) Why not just buy some other good primer at a paint store?3) Yeah do bondo before primer.4) Id' reccomend a tack coat (really light layer of primer), then do a few normal coats.5) Flat black is the color of the primer in most cases. Are you painting the car yourself, or are you just going for the cheap flat-black cant-afford-a-paint-job look?
