dont buy paint for walmart for body work!!!![:@] it might not be compatible with the paint system he goes with! get a good urethane primer! for the money go with some nason 2k look up finishmasters in the phone book jessie it mixes 4 parts paint to one part activator its very high build its from dupont so its a reputable company. its what we use for primer at work! what kind enamel u get? didnt read that earlier

theres a reason the primer from the paint store cost 85 dollars it includes activator correct? activator is about 20-30 dollars of the actual price the rest is primer is the itself. i would take back the wally world primer trust me u dont want to start painting and have a reaction
