Hey there Ol'55 , you've gotten a lot of good advice in the previous posts. What you are being advised to do is after you've prepped the area ( clean, free of oils, etc..sanded with 220 -320 grit) , lay down a couple of wet coats of 2k Epoxy primer and be sure to follow the flash times between coats. Once your epoxy primer has cured (follow the application instructions guidance) you should apply a top coat ( I'd go with a single, stage acrylic black paint ) that will be compatable with whatever finish coat you plan to apply later on. There is usually a "window" of time where you can apply the "top coat" directly to the epoxy primed surface, usually within 24 hours. Why is a top coat recommended? Because the epoxy coat is not resistant to the sunlight ( UV rays ). If you use black you'll only need to scotch brite what's outside the windhield gasket, tape it off and spray your finish coat once you've gotten to the point that your ready to do a "paint job". If you decide to paint the whole "truck" in epoxy, forget the acrylic paint recommendation. Just leave it alone and then when you epoxy the whole truck you'll need to do a satin clear coat over the epoxy. If you going to do that ( whole truck in epoxy ) I'd recommend you stay with one brand of product so that compatability isn't an issue.
