Can I just overcoat with my epoxy primer and then a sandable 2k primer. I'm using PPG products at present for the rest of the old parts.
Still trying to get ole Betsy back on the road.

I would not top coat over the EDP directly. Some EDP applications are not that good. Take some lacquer thinner on a rag and rub the EDP. If any comes off then I would suggest stripping it all off the outside surface and re-priming. You do not want to take chances with the top coat. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 186 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 186 | Well I knew it was EDP something or other but thanks for straighteneing me out. Looks like I'll epoxy prime and then top coat. Now there's another question. Should running boards be the same color as the body or just Black? Thanks for the information on the primer and scuffing.
