Primer paint over the winter

6 years ago

I have a steel Bilco door basement entry. I live in NW Pennsylvania. It had some rusting. I sanded and cleaned it up and painted it with Rustoleum red primer. I would like to wait until spring to apply a top coat of paint. Do you think it will be okay with just the primer for now?
