Best bare metal primer?
just having a break, been sanding the beetles body down and all that surface rust is vanishing, thankfully
still got some welding to do but now need to protect the area's I have cleaned before they start rusting again...
was thinking of a zinc primer but have quite a bit of body work to cover and halfords only sells small cans of the stuff and I don't want to go
to the hassle of a spray gun just now due to the mess they make.
Can anyone recommend a product they have used?

Bonda Primer
Have used up 2.5 litre tin on the car, and just been and brought another 1.5 litre tin to do the last odd bits.
It brushes on and went through IVA in just that, and is quite hard wearing as its lived up to being scrapped getting in and out of the car.

why not buy zinc rich primer from you local paint stockist or use etch primer and a quick guide coat of paint to seal plustit will also help to find
hicgh spots when you flat it

I have used bonda primer and etch.
Difficult to say what is the best. I painted a chassis with bonda 17 years ago, and it stood up very well (it had a coat of stonechip, plus some celly
topcoat)
Likewise, etch is very good. The wash etch primers are excellent, as is upol acid8.
For ultimate protection galvafroid, but deep pockets needed plus it isn't pretty.
On balance, I would go for, errrr, either bonda primer or acid8
