Kevin, looking really good!
The sanded photo looks exactly like my V56 in my garage, but I haven't taken it to the primed stage yet.

Kevin, how did you do the priming without a spray gun and air compressor?

Spray bomb primer won't offer alot of rust protection. I really suggest that you spray the primer on. My Craftsman 30 gallon compressor is enough for primer but not top coat so I am going to use my brother-in-laws compressor. He has one of those huge uprights.

Hello
What is the difference if you use a fancy spray gun with compressor or a spray can? A blanket statement saying spray can wont offer rust protection off base. The most important thing about rust protection is preperation & the type/quality of paint applied. How did I get an even finsih with a spray can? apply several light coats of paint just like you would with a spray gun. You still have to lightly sand the primer & then tack rag the entire surface to remove the dust prior to the final coats of paint. Have I ever done this type of painting before? No I just ask a bunch of questions of people who have to pick their brains for ideas & tips. Learnign something new like this type painting is entertainment-enjoyment for me. When I am done with the V-56 as a training project I will bite off the V110 I bought from Josh.

The difference in spray can vs spray gun primer is the quality of primer. No matter what spray can you are using it is still going to be spray paint which isn't going to be a high quality. Now you can get cheep primer for automotive use that I wouldn't recommend either. But generally the higher quality paints are intended for a gun. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. I am new to the painting thing as well so I am in no way saying that I know it all.

I wouldn't say one is better. Spray can may be ok for small surfaces.
Bulk primer can go on much thicker and is called "fill & sand". When you sand, it fills imperfections. Highly recomended
