OK, I need somebody to make this simple for me to understand. What kind of paint can go on what kind of primer?

Bruce,

If you are looking for information to assure a quality paint job, you should first choose a paint manufacturer, then choose a line of their paints, and then read the instructions sheets (a couple of times) for compatibility information.

This BASICS of BASICS post by MARTINSR might be a helpful read.

Also look at what the local auto paint supplier has in stock. The one and only shop in my town offers Nason's line, so I went with that. If you go with something that you need to order online, then you have to wait to get it, so plan carefully. I can't tell you how many times I bought a quart of 2k only to run out 3/4 the way through the project.

Thanks Tim,
Exactly what I was looking for. I'm not to bright (yet) when it comes to painting but I'm going to learn!

It's always best to stick with the same brand primer as the paint.

Go to the local paint store or body shop. Usually them guys will talk your leg off and answer any questions you have.
