Is this the car you're thinking of rattle-canning?

If so I can't imagine why you'd want to. Hit it with some rubbing compound and enjoy it as it sits. Painting it with spray can primer will do nothing but make a pretty decent looking car look like crap in my opinion, seen that done too many times to otherwise nice-looking cars.
