Default What should i do with this car, for a cheap temporary fix? (paint)

the car is all kinds of different colors of white.. and then ive got the gray bottom...
should i primer it? run around in a sealed primer of some sort?

Leave it alone until you can afford a paint job.
Priming it or spray painting it will make it look alot worse than it does now and it will be more work for the painter to remove whatever you spray on when you actually get a real paint job done.

In that case sand down those spots (not the whole car) and cover them with a good primer (not cheap spray can crap).
I wouldnt leave it in primer long because primer can cause rust because of the way it absorbs moisture.
