epoxy question

is there a time limit after you prime with epoxy before you have to top coat it? my son sanded his truck to the bare metal on several panels. we are doing this project on weekends while he still drives the truck

When you get the rest of the repairs done just sand and scuff the old epoxy, spray one fresh coat of epoxy then your primer surfacer within the recoat window. No big deal here-if you're worried about adhesion with any primer product you simply sand/scuff the surface of the old primer before more material is applied.
