[FC] question, not Corvair specific

[Rad Davis]

There's also the reality of doing piecework bodywork. You fix something, 
and spray primer on it so that it doesn't rust. Then, when you have more 
time/money you fix something else, and spray primer on that. When you 
get to the door ding fill stage, you end up putting primer on 
everything, especially if the stock paint has worn off on the horizontal 
surfaces. Rattle can primer hides a multitude of in-between bodywork not 
yet ready for paint, sometimes for decades.
