For bare metal you can get a spray can of dupont etching primer,1-2 light coats let flash 5-10 min then primer. Dime size you don't really need to do this. You can just prime over but I would get a can and do it cause you may need to use it somemore bad thing is it's about $20 a can.

Where do I buy a can like this from?Would it be okay to just use the can of self etch and not spray primer right away? The reason is I will be spraying primer after I'm done sanding the whole car

Yes you can wait to spray the regular primer on till later,but I would put on two light coats(be carefull it's easy to run, shake well)you will need to sand with 500 or scuff before you put on primer.you don't sand it all off just sand to help the primer stick good to it since it's dry.
You can buy it at parts stores or where you got your other products,I know the oriellys around here has it.

Lots of good info in this thread. Especially about the Astro Pneumatic LVLP Spray Gun - EVO4014 . I have a 25 gallon compressor as well so this should be perfect. Subscribing!
