If you paint over nasty, then nasty will just be laying there underneath a thin layer of paint.
I know they make rustoleum paint and all this and that, but you still can't expect it to perform miracles.
Painting over an old coating of weathered unpainted primer, probably wouldn't be much different than painting over a layer of dirt or grease.
For what it's worth, rustoleum paint is probably intended to be sprayed on a bare surface that has a little rust. Not over a caked on rusty layer of primer with all kinds of cancer and deterioration going on underneath.
You could probably spray it as it is with paint and have it look good for a minute and from a distance, but that'd just be a quick fix to an eye sore. Not really what you want for a muesem piece, is it?
It really should be stripped back down. Truth is, if the primer wasn't going to be painted over right a way, it really should of just not been put on. In that case, a guy should of just went with straight paint, and forgot the primer. If you were sitting in that boat right now, you could probably just sand a little to achieve a scored surface, and have at it with the paint again.
A primer is a little bit like a sponge. It's characteristics are a little different than paint.
