[Chevelle-list] bare metal( will primer seal from rusting?)

[KNUTSONChevelle]

Many are the question of the amateur.....

I have my 66 down to bare metal with most of the body work done.
Can I have it primered or do it myself to keep it from rusting?(will the primer seal it?)
What kind of primer should one use?
Can you use spoting putty on top of primer?
Thanks guys!
