It's a common misconception that primer will protect against rust. Primer is
designed to be porous, so the top coat can penetrate and lock into it. It's
primary purpose is to improve adhesion, it does little or nothing for rust
protection. It's the top coat that locks air away from the steel, so it cannot
rust.
