Epoxy primer
PPG epoxy primer has to be coated with paint within 72 hrs if I remember right. If you don't ,you have to sand the whole surface and spray again with more primer.
You should be able to do a panel at a time until you get the whole car done and then block it out and primer it again and then paint the whole car.
Done well the epoxy is a really the best way to go for a base.
It is true that it is not uv resistant and covering it is really neccessary. But instead of using primer you could use a cheap paint and use it a guide coat when you go back and sand the whole car to make sure it is perfectly flat and no low spots. You will have low spots after driving it and people leaning on and everything else that life brings to the project.Cheap black paint is as cheap as primer and it will look better too. Not to mention that you will find every low spot there is with black paint.
One more thing, the cost of the epoxy was more than the cost of my paint . I used acrylic enamel so it would be easier to touch up and match.
Goodluck , Jim Nilsen
