non body man needs help

Forgot to add, if you're leaving it in primer then epoxy is definitely the way to go, it isn't water soluable like other primers.

Yes Take It To Bare Metal Then Epoxy It. Do All Your Bodywork Between Primer And Epoxy. This Is The Only Way To Go. Just Ask Snake. My Brother Just Finished His Car. And He Has Been Doing This For 35 Years So. Always Bare Metal Then Epoxy Then Welding Then More Epoxy Then Body Work Then High Build Primer Tinted To The Color That Your Car Is Going To Be. Then Putty The More High Build The More Putty Then More High Build Then Block Sand Till You Can.t Seem To Do It Anymore. Then Do It Some More. Take Your Time. After The Epoxy Is On You Can Take Your Time Without Anything Bleeding Threw. Nice Car By The Way. Good Luck.
