Preparing bare metal for paint

Whats the best kind of primer to use?

zinc primer? etch primer?

acid etch primer i think
or zinc
a company called bilt hamber do a anti rust primer which i hear is highly thought of but i think its a bit pricey

u pol etch primer worked a treat on my mk1 golf, scirocco, mini etc...swear by it

I used zinc primer

I would like to know this too, Aky has just used etched primer on his wheels im sure of it.

i got some £13 ish from jawell paints, must be good for £13 a can!!!!!!!!

Etch primer for bare metal, the acid in it burrows into the metal. You have to spray normal primer soon as it drys tho (or high build primer) before any moister gets to it.

Zinc is ok, but doesn't stick as good.

Like Skyrocket said, Upol acid #8 is gooood shit.
