My First Resto-Mod (Guidance Appreciated)

Right now I have just been blasting/sanding/repair and then hitting it with can primer. Im completely jumping the gun Im so excited. Sounds like I should go in sections instead, repair, blast then prime.

If you're going to go to all the trouble to blast it to bare metal, then you should get a good epoxy primer for you bottom layer. I don't think you want rattle can paint as the foundation for your entire paint job. Unless the rattle can paint is for temporary protection and you plan to blast it off again.
