Is it bad to not paint body panels and install them and leave on the car like that forever?

I have to replace my fenders and hood, i was just going to buy oem replacement parts and install them as is. they come primed already but i didn't know whether the sun or weather could effect the primed coat or if there is anything wrong with doing that? I don't have money to paint them.Is it bad to not paint body panels and install them and leave on the car like that forever?
Primer is not suitable for being unpainted.If you apply the parts to your car without painting them ,they will rust in a couple of weeksIs it bad to not paint body panels and install them and leave on the car like that forever?
If the metal is sealed well they should be fine for a while. They usually come with a VERY thin coat of primer though and it will be easily damaged resulting in rust and you having to replace them again. You need to put some kind of preservative on it.
there is nothing wrong, but have you looked into junkyards at all you may be able to find the parts already the same color as your car which will also help when you try and sell the car.


check www.car-parts.com you can search in your state and it will tell you what color the parts are hope this is of some help to you
