Default Spraying Imron-Other painting issues

I am getting ready to spray Imron with a tubrine operated HVLP gun, as
opposed to a conversion gun which operates with an air compressor.

I know that are some real painting experts in this group so I hope one
of them will take the time to give me a little help with the following
questions:

1. Will a turbine HVLP gun atomize sufficiently to give me good
results?

2. I have some Interlux primer made for their Perfection lineau
polyruethane and wonder if I could use that as a primer or do I have
to use a two-part epoxy primer?

3. As I do this I need to paint a piece of aluminum that has become
pitted. Would West System mixed with their aluminum dust be a good
filler for pitting in the aluminum and could I also use the Interlux
primer under the Imron. Of course, I would etch the alum prior to
application of the primer.

Thanks for your help.

Joe
