1. make sure your compressor is large enough to power the gun
2.Primer is thick, there are guns made spicifically for primer, these are different than normal hvlp paint guns.
3.why primer? just paint the thing, its the same amount of work, and your car will look much better.
4.if you do decide to paint it a lighter color, you will still need primer, but they sell commercial grade auto primer in a rattle can, the stuff i use is made by SEM
