Opinion on which primer system for 68 mustang with new panels.

This is how we have been restoring Mustangs since 2005.

80 DA to bare metal
Clean with 700
Spray two coats of SPI red oxide epoxy if you want it original or my favorite if you are building a restomod SPI black epoxy.
Do your bodywork seal with epoxy next day spray two coats of SPI gray Turbo
Block sand 80 or 120 Turbo prime again
Block sand with 180 and Turbo as many times as needed to get it straight.
Spray two coats of epoxy
Block sand with 320
Spray two more coats of epoxy color depends on final base color
Wet sand with 400 solid color 600 metallic.
Spray sealer coat of epoxy reduced 25 - 30%
Spray three coats of base using SPI 885 reducer wait 45 - 60 minutes between coats
Next day three coats of Universal waiting 30 minutes between coats
And if I want it to really look good after a few days block with 400 - 600 and spray three more coats of clear.
Let it sit for a few days wet sand with 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 and buff.
