Afternoon guys,
I am pretty much done sanding my engine bay and just wondering what now? There's a couple spots that show bare metal and an area where the battery tray was that I ground down that had some pitting (its on a bend and not comfortable trying to patch it). I also ground the k frame down to bare metal, which is completely solid thanks to all the grease and oil protecting the original primer and paint lol. So basically my question should I epoxy primer the entire engine bay followed by a 2k primer then color/clear? I've never used epoxy nor did I know anything about it til I read Donny's post and the sticky earlier. That may be why my car is bubbling and rusting over the last 4 years in spots it never had issues over the last 45 years...
