Ok...so this is my first frame off and I am getting a little confused (thanks to all those have been helpful thus far!!!I love this website) Anyways, I just had my frame sandblasted and then the guy immediately put on a sherman williams shop primer. What do I do next? There is some small pitting from the surface rust. Do I use body filler over the shop primer..then sand and then prime...and then put on a final epoxy coat??? I am really confused but I want to do this the right way the first time. Please help....:confused:

This would be a good question for Body Shop Forum, I have always used filler on bare metal then primered. But there might be some products out there you could use with the primer on. The problem I see is, if the primer doesn't hold up then the filler will come off with it.

See if you can get a tech sheet on the primer he put on it, see what will stick to it and what won't.
