Ive got got quite a few welding repairs to do before i do a complete respray. Once ive repaired say the wheel arch will spraying it with primer be enough to hold off the rust until the respray?

Give it a coat of primer and some topcoat, primer alone can be porous.

I've just seen where you live - you won't have much of a rust problem on Cyprus, dust yes rust no.

LOL, only when u inport a rust heap! I think mines the only one on the Island, havent seen any only the odd T2.

Is it idea to spray it with Hammerite rust prevention paint before giving the van its final respray?

Depends on your final paint type, some paints don't like sitting on top of others.
I had a problem with some patches that I used an aerosol on (the paint type was acrylic), when the two-pack was applied the edges of the patches feathered and wrinkled through.

If you use an acrylic out of an aerosol you can "wipe" the paint of with celli thinners.

So i have to use the same paint im gonna respray it with...
