I used something called an epoxy surfacer sealer by House of Kolors. I just sprayed the bare metal then did the body work and surface prep on top of the surfacer/sealer. The only difference between the sealer and the surfacer is the amount of reducer you use. This stuff is easy to sand if you go beyond the window for painting (and you will).
Probably, everybody who does a paint job has their own idea of what's best. This product worked for me. But, you need to decide which products you are going to use and how you are going to do it before you start, even before you begin sanding. Otherwise, you will end up with bare metal sitting around.
