POR15 is excellent protection by itself ... I had to use a wire wheel in a
grinder and some patience to remove some that had dripped onto aa dirty,
unprepared trailing arm. To answer your question, I'm not sure epoxy primer
will stick directly to the POR, but they(POR) do make a primer that will bond
to POR15 and then accept any (including self-etching) primer or paint over the
top of it.

I don't know about epoxy primers, but regular primers aren't durable and are
very porous to moisture.
