Sealing the Primer

When I left off work on the rear window sill I had shot it with a generous coat of high-build primer. Since then I got to thinking that in Hawaii's climate, moisture will work into the primer and ruin all that hard work, even though the car is indoors. So I was thinking I should shoot it with some real paint. I checked with the expert at Redline and he agreed.

One term in the equation is how long the car will sit unpainted. A few days is not a problem. A few months is. Right now this is an easy call ... months, if not years! The thing is, whatever I use needs to be compatible with the finish paint.
