You have to be careful with this. Most of the older type primers actual attract water and it will soak through to the base metal. I don't think the newer stuff is any different. This is why a lot of primered cars get clear coated if that is the look the owner is after. Primer should limit flash rust but don't expect that part to sit there in primer for long periods of time without damage occurring. A lot has to do with where you live also. If your brake rotors rust really bad over night there is a good chance that your project will to.
