Cellulose Finish, What Primers etc?

[Chambers]

I am going to paint my car in cellulose from bare metal but I am wondering what primers people would use, I know there is a wealth of info on the search tool buy cant find a specific answer. What would the build up be?
i.e.

1 coat primer a
2 coats primer 2
4 coats cellulose

Also can someone tell me at what stage I should use my filler? Onto bare metal? After the initial primer? Also can people suggest products/suppliers

Any help would be great as I really want to get this project under way

looking back

Filler to bare metal, all dents, scratches, low spots, gone.
Prime.
Dust coat.
Flat back, dust coat, makes sure you don't miss any where, check for small blemishes, stopper & flat.
You may require more than one primer coat.
Do not be encouraged to use aggressive papers to flat.
Remember any rubdown marks you put in you have to take out, easier not to have them in first place, use a block or the flat of hand, finger tips rub through quick.
We wet flatted but I understand this is not the preferred way now, wipe down with clean water, let dry tack rag to remove dust then top coats.
Leave primers to dry trapped thinners will produce micro-blisters at a later date, same with top coat, do not flash coat on coat on coat, again we used a fast thinner for the first top coats then a slower one for finish coats leaving time for evaporation, heat is the key not just air but the whole vehicle needs to be a nice temp.
Also remember the colour of the primer can make a difference some colours are thin, (yellow for starters needs white primer or base coat).
We ran 3 body shops for 20+ years our throughput was Bristols, Porch, vintage cars, as well as day to day stuff, went from cellulose to A&W acrylic but it was 25 years ago just as 2k started

Thanks for the reply, what primer do you suggest onto bare metal/before cellulose?

filler

etch primer

high build primer straight over the etch , flat then paint

if you have the breathing gear it could also go epoxy , filler , high build , then paint ...but im assuming youre painting it at home?

Thankw, I am painting at home so no breathing gear. Should i use standard acid etch or does it need to be a special type?
Thanks for all the help guys

2 part etch would be the best
