I'm not a PPG expert, but I know the DP primers really stick to everything
they are applied to (and some things you didn't think you applied them to).
I can't find my spec sheets, but my gut feel is you should not have a
problem. Go to you local PPG store and have them run a copy of the DP spec
sheets for you. Another option I've used is the autobodystore.com site to
post PPG questions. There is a PPG "expert" in the group who is a great
resource. He's always right on. The site is also just a great place to
cruse for autobody work information.
