Bryce,
I noticed you said "Epoxy" primer. You are right, that stuff will
protect the metal from rust. However, most refinish primers will not
because they allow water to pass through. Therefore, I would stress
that the word "epoxy" be added to your statement, otherwise a primered
car will soon show signs of rust which negates all the work done to
prepare the metal.
Regards,
Joe
