Ugh!!! this just won't go away... I have seen so many decent cars killed by "saving it (for now) with primer". 
If you must get it one color for now, I would suggest a catalyzed primer. You can even tint it... go to your automotive paint store and ask about your options.
If you can find a way to schmooze her into keeping the patina, just give it the CLR treatment and wax it.
IMHO, painting this one would be a crime.  |
Yeah the more I see the replies the less I want to paint it. You think wax will be enough to protect it for now? Obviously more upkeep than paint but barring the wife leaving me, I'd rather not mess with paint until I can do it up right.
I don't know if you noticed but the buddy who helped me pick this up took a can of black spray paint and demonstrated on the front fender...
now I need to figure out how to get that off there! Oh...and keep my wife from being a pain about the paint....hmmm
