The truth is, the parts needed to be striped or blasted. I got as much of the surface rust off that I could, but I needed to put the truck together and get it out of the shop for a few months for a job I will be doing. I primed the parts today.

Whats done is done. My plan now is to spend the time to find some of the parts that need replacing, then re do the front end sheetmetal. I will be blasting all the parts at that time, so...

between now and then, should I put a coat of rattle can paint on, or will the primer be ok, for a few months?

Thanks, you guys are very helpful.
