David, I don't know about the primer issue with wrinkle paint. I've heard people have done it both ways. Main reason I primed it was the fact I took it down to the bare metal when I prepared the surface and primed it just to keep it from rusting before I got the wrinkle paint in the mail. Took 2 weeks to get it. No one around here carries it in stock. I ended up ordering it from AutoBarn. Thanks for the info.
