I had the car blasted and then I sprayed it with epoxy primer about 18 months ago. I've been driving it maybe once a week since then.
Now I'm going to come back to it and finish up the metal work.
Some questions...
1) Some of the panels don't need any metal work. Just a skim coat of filler will get it where I need it. Can I simply scuff the old epoxy and put body filler over it? Or do I need to re-spray it with epoxy? If so, can I thin it?
2) Some of the panels need more significant metal work. I'll do the metal work with the old primer on it. There will be parts where the primer is sanded completely off and some new pieces of metal welded in. Then I'll spray the whole panel with epoxy. And then do my filler work. And then hit the whole panel with high build primer and block it out. This process may take weeks. What is the maximum amount of time I can wait from when I shoot the epoxy to when I shoot high build primer?
