RE: How do I remove primer?
I find sanding to be extra work and extra cost. Buy the Aircraft stripper from walmart(brushable, not spray) and coat it on. Take a putty scraper or some flat blade object and simply scoop the paint off. Then hit it with a fine sanding to smooth the baremetal out.
And aircraft is no messier than all that dam sanding dust...

They do make electric orbital sanders, go to a Lowes or Home Depot. they have all sorts sanders. You can even get one that you can hook up to a shop vac. But the hose is sometimes a pain.
I don't know why people will prime a car and then drive it in all kinds of weather or leave it sitting outside. Primer does not prevent moisture from getting to the sheet metal, the paint does.

And yes, primer is water-retentive. Actual paint is not. Mine actually sits inside my house and there are 2 dehumidifiers so I dont have to worry about it

While on the subject of removing primer any ideas whats the best and safest way to get it off glass? I don't want to go at it with a knife or anything people who did my paint job we're just spectacular....and then they went out of business.
