Etching primer is yellow or green in color (I have never seen different, though I am sure someone will tell me if I am wrong). If you have good quality panels with an "E" coat on them, leave it. it is high in Zinc and very good. If you don't know that you have, sand it off and apply an etch primer and the 2K if your choice. The etch primer can set forever if inside. If it sets more than 24 hours or so (check tech sheets) you will need to scuff it.
