I've been seeing a flat-black, primered, '53 Chevy around town for several years. It's lowered and has a 'rat-rod' look. Every time I see it parked somewhere, I look at it......expecting to see rust forming under the primer.
However, there's never been a sign of rust!
Finally, I was at the liquor store (getting a flu remedy) and caught the kid getting into his car. I remarked that I expected to see his car rusting through the primer, but wondered why it hadn't done so.
The kid (a KID is anyone under 60, to me) told me the car was NOT painted with primer, but John Deere flat black hood paint! He said he sanded, primed, then painted the car with it 5 years ago, with no sign of rust, since. He said the John Deere paint was $24 a gallon and tough as nails!
I didn't know anything was as cheap as $24 at a John Deere dealer!
