    I went down this morning and sanded the top and sprayed it with the PPG DP60LF Epoxy Primer..... Everything is looking good so far..... I have a little metal replacement to do around the left tail light opening and right lower quater right behind the door jamb this week, then I can spray the rest of the quaters and rear panel with epoxy.....
