Rattle Can or Primer before body work...

Hi All,

I know that to some the patina look is popular now and it's actually growing on me but my wife is hating it. Problem is it could be a long time before i can get to the necessary body work for a good paint job. So I'm wondering, what kind of cons are there against spraying this puppy with rattle can black or even a black primer just to give it one color? If it was just me I'd run the patina and call it good but I need the wife to support this or the project is a no start!

Anybody else do this, or have some other solution? I was thinking of just lightly sanding it and throwing a cheap flat paint or black primer on it. My buddy suggested grey because the black would limit my paint options later? Like lighter paints would be hard to do over the black?

Let me hear your thoughts, rants, etc!
