THAT'S a horse of different colors...
old school new school thinking as to which is 'best'
Yes is the answer.
If your going to use epoxy I strongly advise you to educate yourself about it. The prep can be strict. Not difficult, just real important you do it correctly and right up front....
NO SODA blasting. Chemical stripping must be correctly neutralized.
that said I love the versatility of it... I use it for metal protection under filler, scratch with 80 grit and apply filler (next day or next year), over filler to lock it in and then as my 'high build', then I use it as a sealer coat.... wait a minute.... No where on the can do I find all those claims to fame??? Must be why I have to apply myself.
