epoxy primer
i'm going to fix up the body on my car sometime relatively soon- but money for paint is something i'm just not going to have for a while. i actually don't mind the primer-black finish on the car now, and i think i'd just as soon leave it in primer until i can afford a really nice paintjob, with primer surfacer and all that.
if i use an epoxy primer, am i safe to drive the car and leave it out in the rain? and not have to worry about the occasional bird-poopy either?
i was thinking i could do bodywork in sections, and cover each area in epoxy after it's done. that way i could still drive the car, and then just do a final full coat of it afterwards to blend all the areas together. plus it's not shiny, so it won't show off all the little flaws.
is this a bad idea?

It is also the only kind you can put filler over so if you need to do filler work, make sure you are putting it over epoxy. Sherwin Williams has it in black or gray.
