The primer that im gonna spray is 2k Epoxy primer, then i will spray the Championship White base coat, then clear. Is this safe 2 do? Can i spray the Champ-white base coat over the epoxy primer without it having a bad reaction like bubbling/peeling? Or should i use a Laquer primer?

If your priming the whole car it'll be ok for sure

Yes we r priming the whole car. N I also got the primer in white so the white can pop out more. Was this a bad idea of getting the primer white? N wat do u mean it will sand hard once it cures?
