It is the nature of primer to pull paint into it. This also means it will
pull moisture and rust from under the primer. I use a combination of
things to treat parts that are going to be sitting around for a while.
Larger body panels and such I shoot with DP90 epoxy primer, this will seal
them up and keep them from rusting. If it's part of the undercarriage or
frame I use POR-15. If it's just a small part for the engine or elsewhere
I just hit it with a spray can primer, then a spray can enamel. Hope this
helps.
