Production body shops don't epoxy because 1. time constraints 2. insurance companies won't pay for it.
I hear you Eric, but that doesn't change the facts.

1. Spraying a quality epoxy primer over your bare metal before filler or paint prep is the best way to treat bare metal.

2. 99% of body repairs across America aren't done that way and survive.

Applying the epoxy steps up the game quite a bit. Plus when doing stuff around the garage that are going to be a multi year project, epoxy over the bare metal allows you to work those years without issues.
