Re: [Healeys] Steel wheels again

I don't know what is period correct, but do know that most primers are quite 
porous and will not prevent rust.  Only the 
catalyzed, epoxy-type primers (supposedly) can prevent rust; other primers have 
to be painted with a finish coat in just 
a day or two or you risk rusting.  Anything out of a can will likely not 
prevent rust.
