2k primer is any primer with a catalyst, that means urethane, iso-free 2k, epoxy, etc.

I have to tell you, I have had professional painters who paint every day point to an iso-free filler primer with a DTM (Direct To Metal) on the label as "epoxy" when I asked them where the epoxy was that they were shooting. They had no clue what an epoxy was! These are pros that paint every day. Their education was limited to the stuff they worked with, period. Epoxy was outside the box and they were clueless.
