I would think its less important to have the primer then. If you are spot welding every 6", there is plenty of gap to want that protection. We did ours on a rotiseree we built, so it was easy to flip and weld from both sides so we ran full beads across, ran a 3" bead every 6 inches or so, then went back and filled the gaps between. any gaps left were just sealed with seam sealer to keep the elements out of the joint to protect it from rusting after the bottom was repainted.
Our beads were only bad where the powder was too close to the weld, but we run flux core so its a bit sloppier if there was any powder present.
I guess all I am saying is if you are running more weld than where spot welds were on the original car, I dont think its as important to have it on the parts.
