yeah, you can buy the SSP alternators that put out 130 or 140 amps.... i work at a shop so i get discounts on stuff like that. it just bolts inno major mods required, but ill prolly rewire that plug, cuz ive heard bad things. and what do you mean primer holds moisture? like, if you spray it over rust? or it absorbs it like when it gets rained on?

Rustoleum primer has a rust inhibitor in it. Then go to your local automotive paint store an have a spray can of touch up for you color mixed. It cost a little more but it looks better. Good for a temporary fix. It is better paint also.

lol, ill look into some primer sealer....ill prolly put another coat on it, then sand it a lil finer. i think its kind of useless to mix up touch up paint on primer isnt it? flat black is kind of a universal color.....that primer sealer applies just like normal spray paint? just spray it on basically? i dont need any activator.....wish i woulda known that b4 i covered the car. im a n00b at body work
