: To quick questions: Epoxy prime new coated panels? Full floors?

1. Can I use epoxy primer over the coating on new panels? If so, do I only need to scuff them?

2. Do the 1pc floor pans install from the bottom, or how do you get them in?

Thanks, Ray

Are you talking about the full pan with the braces and rocker panels attached? If so, then yes those are installed from under the car I believe. If you are talking about the "full" pan from Dynacorn, the one that goes back to but does not include the area under the rear seat, those can be unstalled from inside the car. You can get that pan in through the window. I know, I just did it last night :)

yes you can put epoxy over about anything. Follow the p-sheet you'll need to scuff I'm sure.

one other thing do the lacquer thinner test on the ecoated panels if it comes off with some rubing then you need to strip the panel if the ecoat stays on just rough it up 180 or soo and shoot the epoxy:thumbsup:

Thanks guys. I am talking about the 1pc floor that doesn't include the rockers. It is one piece from rocker to rocker and welds to the toe board and trunk.

Look in my sig, under "Resurection", then look in "floor replacement". You'll find alot of pic's of what you're looking at doing.
