Why would I be painting it again?!

Actually, this car's going to be driven in to the ground and a restart happening when I get re-oriented. My car is a giant rust bucket, it just looks pretty on the outside ;)

The hood has to be stripped to punch the louvers. The hood and Fenders were painted less than a month ago

FALSE!  Primer will NOT protect against rust.  It's far too pourous and it lets air, moisture and anything else in. Can't protect metal from rust like paint can.  Sure, it's better than bare metal, but not by much.

I can vouch for this. Had to sand and re-primer a couple spots on the fender I repainted because I let it sit too long with just primer on.

Well that sucks, I assumed it did what with all the primered cars about and whatnot.
