OK guys - what would you do in this situation

I'm in...if the beer is supplied!

Good beer provided, but bit of a drive to get here.

Oh, if you want paint that looks old quickly to match, just go with the Dupont baseline cheapo, one coat laquer. Used that stuff a few years ago...just a couple weeks in the sun and it already looks aged 10 years.[/QUOTE]

Any recommendation on black paint/primer that will prevent rust but allow a top coat when the day comes to go a full respray?

most all primers will eventually rust thru. maybe a 2 part epoxy primer wont rust thru and I think they have a black or they can tint it black, but you will have to ask your local paint guy

PPG makes a "DP90LF" black, epoxy, self etching, non-sanding primer. It is semi-gloss. Not cheap, but it is an excellent coating. For my restoration I used it on all my under-bonnet, under-dash, frame, and suspension components...as well as under the body paint. Basically, I have a gallon I keep around to use on anything I come across that needs to be black.

When brake fluid spilled on my paint, it ate right through the top and color, but did not even stain this primer underneath. Here's my frame covered with it:

And my body tub (under the color):
