I'll have to resand two fenders. They have light coat of rustoleum. Then only use it for brackets and such/semi gloss black stuff. I will start getting used to epoxy 2part. Goes on under or over filler. Goes on old paint if sanded first. Don't need etch or filler primer or sealer and all that. Sand the epoxy, do a final epoxy and paint top within window. SPI's "The perfect paint job" says 2K primer over epoxy before top. I say epoxy is a filler primer especially when reduced as SPI says. 2K primer over epoxy is not for adhesion, it's for filling/blocking in my opinion. I don't need to do that for daily driver. The novice, like me, thinks something is smooth as silk and ready for top coat when a pro would say it's rough as a cobb. I can never tell. We tend to put way too much crap on the metal trying to "smooth it out". There is no substitute for sanding but I hate it. I guess I won't get that job at Maaco or Earl Scheib. I really really am in awe of someone who actually likes body work. I can't afford $10K+ for a good paint job. If someone says they will do all that work and paint with good paint, in a booth, for less than that, you may smell a rat.
