Jodie, my personal primer of choice is PPG DP-40 or the newer version PPG DP-40-LF. It isn't cheap but is extremely good at sealing the metal against re-occurring rust & bleed through. The very low shrinkage of the DPLF series after extended periods & hot sun makes it good for pits & rough areas. The only problem with the DP-40 is it is difficult to wet sand or sand right after shooting. I usually use the DP-40 as a base sealer then shoot PPG K-36 primer/filler over that as the K-36 is an excellent pit filler & does an excellent job of leveling pits & scratches & sands very easily. Then after sanding, shoot a thinned coat of DP 40-LF as a final sealer then shoot the color coat on the semi-wet DP 40-LF after about 1/2 hour. There are other primers that are probably just as good but I have figured out how to get excellent results with what I use. Probably my recommendation to you is find a quality paint store with knowledgeable people working there & trust their recommendation on what you need versus what you are willing to pay. If you have any problems with their products they can really be a help to solve them.
