I will be doing sheet metal prep over the next few months and want to prime as I go in order to prevent surface rust between now and painting. I plan to paint with acrlyic enamel when the time comes. Is any ratlle can primer Ok for now with a good primer coat on top ofit when everything is finshed and ready to paint? Any other recommendations? Thanks.

I have had projects that sat for a long time with primer on em and you have to be careful cause the primer will adsorb moisture which could lead to problems painting. If it just going to be a couple months I would let it rust and POR15 it and go from there. Just my $0.02

second what poser stated. most primers are porous and will let water permeate. Unless you plan on sanding to bare metal before the real paint job, put a good etching primer on now, and a good sealer. Keep in mind, most primers/sealers are no where near as UV stable as a topcoat and they will degrade over time.
