Paint Stripper and Primer

I am restoring my first mustang. I have the entire shell nearly cleaned to the point that I will be ready to prime. Has anyone ever used Eastwoods DeKote paint stripper? Should I use the same primer for the entire car inside, outside, and underside? Please help. What are the steps for priming and what type of primer should I use. Eastwood has a rust Encapsulator primer. Has anyone had any luck with this product? They say it is good for rust prevention. Please help!

if your car is bare metal first wash it down with a prep solvent, then a metal prep follow with a few coats of etching primer.this is a primer especially made for bare metal and can be gotten from most auto paint supply stores and will keep paint from lifting after the paint has been on for a while in other words it makes paint stick.this primer can then be top coated with a sealer or primer of your choice

I agree with agawam, a good etching primer is Dupont's variprime. You will want to use it inside and out.
