Thumbs down Personal Experience

Thats a really bad idea.

Primer doesnt last at all, especially in the snow and salt thats flying around. I've done this before and I saw rust spots coming up through the primer in short order. I had to.....SHUDDER... spray paint over it to keep it from rotting out. This is with a heavy coat of primer.

Plus, after a month or two, the primer no longer acts as primer anymore: looses it's "stickiness". You'll have to reprime it.

If you absolutely have to either:

a. Spray paint it temporarily. Get that rat patrol look. Use flat paint. You can put real paint over this in a jiffy, but it makes the car look real ghetto

b. This is my favorite! Get some black magic tire silicone and soak the whole car till it's dripping. No, it doesnt dissolve the paint or the primer. Get the bottom too. I've had 3 cars and not a spot of rust at all with them parked outside and driven in the snow. This'll really F^$% up your primer, but it'll resist the snow like crazy
