I would really apreciate some knowledgeable painters out there to share some tips..... I am getting ready to prep my car to be painted , what is the best process?

I am under the impression that it goes like this ( info from local guy I know)

1- prep metal 80- 240G sand paper
2-use dirt/grease remover
3-Zinc chromate primer ( I was told to just put a super light coat)
4- scratch filler primer ( 3 coats)
5-sand 400G sand paper ( say's 600G is not needed)
6-dirt/grease remover again (with cheese cloth)
7- Ready for paint


How come it is not better to use only zinc primer?

The car is gemini blue ( looks like sky blue) what is the best color primer

Thanks ...apreciate all responses
