Car Primer

[EDGE3]

Can someone let me know how long can you drive a car when it has been primed before it will need to be sprayed?

 

[ari666]

you shouldnt be driving it at all.

Ok thanx for that ari666,its just that I see plenty of cars driving around with the primer on for weeks on end.

yeah well you can drive it round but you gotta remember that the idea of primer is that it sucks up the first coat of paint and helps it stick. when you drive it you are basically sucking up all the tar/bugs/water etc off the road. then you block it back and paint it with the water sealed under the paint. the metal rusts, the paint lifts and then you have to do it all over again, but next time you gotta fix rust too.

Well ari666 now that you have explained it to me I will definately not be driving my car until its fully sprayed cheers for the great advice mate

Not only is it bad for the paint, but it's illegal as well.
