Any thoughts on using gray epoxy primer for color coat for lower section of two tone paint on 68 Camaro project.
The project is a plain Jane 20 yr rebuild after semi professional paint job in 2003 - that paint is still solid - at least on top surfaces and garaged all the time.
Four years ago I disassembled and put on rotisserie to spi black epoxy bottom and modified quarters for wider shoes for pro-tour stance.
Since then car was on road for debugging mechanical side for year or so and time to make bottom half eye friendly. Project is a driver and weekend fun package so not looking for show only finish. Panels all fit and match flat to within 1/16 with yardstick. First thought (actually second or third thought) I'm thinking silver or gray lower would contrast existing dark cherry upper and that single stage will be good. But silver colors have too much metallic thus needing clear coat.
So this is my plan. Car on stands. #80 lower all over, 2 coats gray epoxy, filler work as needed. Then 2 coats gray epoxy and block flat with one coat of gray as final coat.
I'm thinking that the lower doesn't need to shine and epoxy should be solid enough for road time in sun. Any suggestions are welcome.
