one more paint question?
Would it be a good idea to paint my truck without primering? The body is pretty straight and has some rust but all ready primered bad spots to prevent from spreading. I have had some "backyard" painters tell me it would be ok to do this, but would like some more advise.

The simple answer is "no"....I wouldn't spend all the time/ money involved in painting something that isn't properly prepared. It won't really take that much time/ material to sand and prime the whole truck...You don't need to layer it on thick, just a light coat to provide some adhesion for the paint. Just my .02 cents.....

The only thing primer does is fill minor sand scratches. I only use primer over filler. Sanded paint don't need primer over it. But I would use a good sealer over everything.

I don't think I'd try it. #1. the primer gives a nice new surface for the paint to attach itself to. #2. the primer will even out the body color so you don't get light and dark spots. #3. if there are any imperfections in your prep work, the primer will show them for you and is alot easier to fix than fresh paint.
