SPI Epoxy Primer for top coat

O

I love the look of the SPI Epoxy Black Primer. What are the Cons of just leaving my truck in this Primer? I believe its loaded with UV Protection, but how would it compare to using a base coat (black or clear) with a clear over the top? If I go with clear, it will most likely be a color base coat and avoid the satin or flat clears.
 
If we could say!!! It will blow up in 3 months, 1year, 5 years or 10 years we could then make a decision but epoxy is affected by a number of conditions when and how sprayed that any of the time frame, I gave you could happen. Been done but I'm not a fan of it.
 
I've only topcoated parts with SPI epoxy a few times. They dont see a ton of sun, but they do get abused... I love using on engine compartments of race cars... Super durable and noting seems to touch it as far as break fluid, race fuel etc...

Here is a scoop I did a few years back.. Its been on fire a handful of times and still looks new to this day!!...

 
Probably worth taking the risk on smaller parts that can be redone, or maybe places that never see the elements. I guess Im gonna have to go with base clear and get over the satin black. Just too many things to go wrong down the road and maintainance is a big concern, especially on a whole truck. Thanks!
