Thanks for all the replies! Paint completed:

I just used SPI epoxy primer for the first time on an engine bay. Love the way it sands, filler feather edges right into it. Great stuff and a good website with a forum, all questions answered.

Lead was used on the corners of the cowl. Sometimes not a very good job.

Yes, 30 minute induction time and then 72 hour pot life.

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. https://www.southernpolyurethanes.com/_files/ugd/8ced3e_2e1da7dc5da34c94bb9c9704d8464b44.pdf As for the panels I think I'll work on one at a time, sand off the lacquer primer...

Yup, that's the entire problem, what product to use? One thing for sure, I am not stripping the entire car to bare metal. The panels are too nice, and require only minimal spot repairs. Sure wish that someone hadn't covered the entire care in lacquer primer, but that's the way it was done...

Is Evercoat G2 the same as feather fill primer? Can the SEM Etch primer go over sanded factory enamel as well, or just bare metal?

Since I want to leave (most of whats on the panels after the lacquer primer is removed) the factory paint and original primers do I need to use something other than epoxy primer?

I hand sanded most of the flat black out of the engine bay, but there is some remnants.

Once the old lacquer primer is removed is it ok to apply epoxy over the original factory paint if sanded with 80 grit?

I planned on using SPI epoxy primer on my project but when reading through the tech sheet it says not to use over lacquer paint. Here's what I have to work with: The engine bay - Someone sprayed flat black paint over the factory color. I think it is lacquer by the way it sands, I have sanded...

The F6 looks nice. I've sprayed F5 single stage in the past. The green shades seem to vary the most depending on the color of primer.

Looks great!

Is that a factory color in your engine bay?

I like the F3 myself. It really shows off the body lines of a Charger. Looks great with the black vinyl top and tail stripe too.

The original F5 was a strange color. As it ages it begins to take on a gold hue.
