I want to strip my car down to bare metal this weekend and do some dent repair and bondo, but i will not be able to prime it for two weeks, is there anything i can do so that i can still drive around without it rusting???

You could put saran wrap around the car with cutouts for doors and stuff.

Will it stay on while im driving???

He was kidding...at least I think so, I hope so haha.

No, basically, you're screwed. A day or two of nice weather you could maybe get away with, but no way 2 weeks....you could possibly prolong it with like, some sort of oil coating, but I think you'll have to reapply daily.

Move to Phoenix, we are going to be 110+ degree's for the next week....humidity .. about 5-8 %...if that...lol.

are you still on fire?

I think the forecast calls for a chance of nuclear fallout though if the NM thing gets too out of hand

I was kidding. I hear vaseline is pretty good for preventing rust....but you have to rub every inch of the car every day. Kinda a waste.

They do sell a water based coatingm they advertise it on Powerblock alot. Althouh its expensive and itd take a week or so to ship.

you can mix vegetable or any cooking oil with some navel gel (which can be purchased at most auto parts stores) put it in a spray bottle and coat the car. the oil should be absorbed by the metal and the navel gel should eat away any rust... it will run a bit and of course it will need to be washed off before you prime and paint
