This is especially true with large pitted areas were the acid is hard to get out without rinsing ('i.e.' Sand blasted metal) Epoxy primer is the first substrate that should be sprayed on bare metal followed by 2 part high build. Most Epoxy primers can be painted over within 3 to 7 days of application without sanding. this is especially handy when spraying the undercarriage, cross members, diffrentials, etc. My 2 cents worth!
