after you seal w/ the blo then you can prime them. I usually us a spray can primer....sand between coats to get it nice and smooth.

Paints, a lot of guys do some remarkable things w/ rattle cans. I use an airbrush with the createx paints.

You might want to prime with Rustoleum's Sandable Primer. Not sure what color scheme you're looking for, but Rustoleum's epoxy paints (black or white) is a solid choice. No need to epoxy if you want to keep it simple.

I like Createx paints because they have good colors and are easy to use in an airbrush.

you could use spray cans also

wait a few days or week to prime after sealing to give the BLO a chance to fully dry

I use a spray can primer to do my priming

everyone has a system they like, ya have to figure out what works best for you actually.
like they said, keep it simple

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
