Well I won't call you an ass. 
 I hit reply to a list message and cut the text. In doing so I cut my signature too.

My question is, What is the best primer that people are using now to treat freshly blasted metal when they plan on welding on it later? I expect many starts and stops in this project with long delays in actually working on it. Therefore I want to treat any bare metal as soon as I uncover it.

Wouldn't you know that the wind caught the door when I opened it and pulled it forward so hard it tweaked the hinge. Then when I tried too shut the door it took a big chunk of paint off the front edge! I adjusted the door when I got home, but the chipped paint is still in need of attention. I'm bummed! The edge being chipped is no big deal, but there is an actual crack in the paint about 1/2" long going back into the door panel area. The car is painted with acrylic enamel and I now it will nye nigh on impossible for me to repair it and get it right. So I'm going to touch up the edge and hope it doesn't rust in the crack. I'm hoping the urethane primer I used didn't crack and it will be OK
