HELP with bodywork

HEy Guys,

sorry its been awhile before i replied as i have been working really hard on the car. Let me clarify some stuff for you guys....the paintjob im going to be getting is free....the autobody guy at my dad's college (he teaches truck mechanics) is going to spray the car for only the cost of the materials, so i cant really send them the car to do the work for me. My father talked with the painter breifly the other day and said that he wants the car in a final grit of 600...should that be 600 wet? Also, here are my options that he layed out....he said that i could buy epoxy primer and use a roller to roll it on to the car....would that be effective or would it just be messy?

He also said that i could just go out and buy some bingo dabbers and dab the whole panel then block it all, or to go out and buy some guidecoat and rub it on and block it....In regards to the spray bomb stuff, he said i should be fine using it as long as its not a lacquer. He said it should be an enamel....

Im still shaping with 80 right now, but hopefully by the end of the week will have the car shaped with 180, then ready for primer....thats why i really need to decide what method im going to use for priming the car...some of you have said that the spray bomb primer will be bad, but then later have that it should be okay after i said its all i have....I know its probably not the best way to do the car, but its going to be a daily driver that isnt garaged so it will see the elements and i know that it being my first car its not going ot be perfect, and im fine with that....If the spray bomb stuff is a safe foundation, please just clarify that with me guys...but if it really really is that risky, are any of the other options i mentioned worth a try?

Thanks so much again guys
Matthew
