Read the directions from the manufacture of the paint product you want to use!!! Use all the same brands of paint products. Any question should be asked of the paint supplier and follow their directions NO RATTLE CAN !
Your familiar with the 30 minute induction time? It just means once its mixed 1to 1 It has to sit for 30 minutes in its mixed state prior to applicationAfter a ton of research I decided to take the engine bay all the way down to bare metal and then coat with SPI epoxy.

As for the panels I think I'll work on one at a time, sand off the lacquer primer and see what I have to work with. Thanks to all that replied!

I think you’re doing the right thing. Cutting corners when you have the car completely blown apart will come back to haunt you. It’s ultimately cheaper and easier to do it right the first time than it is to go back and fix it later.After a ton of research I decided to take the engine bay all the way down to bare metal and then coat with SPI epoxy.

Reduced as a sealer is a better sealer than just a standard 2k sealer. For rock chips, sealing up metal, etc.Why do they recommend to use reduced epoxy as a sealer before painting????
Because epoxy reduced as a sealer is better to be using than a standard 2k sealer or 1k sealer. It resists rock chips much better, plus adhesion of your paint or base coat is much better. Epoxy sticks to the undercoat much better, too.Why do they recommend to use reduced epoxy as a sealer before painting????
It seals the 2k from stains and moisture migration. 2k primers are pourusWhy do they recommend to use reduced epoxy as a sealer before painting????
Hmmm, don't think so ! That's the whole point od a 2k primer - the damn stuff is like a complete plastic coating. Sealers are generally not to keep stuff "out" but rather to keep stuff "in". In other words, it prevents anything from bleeding though into the topcoat.2k primers are pourus
