So after blocking both quarters, I was very happy with them and ready to move on and get it prepped for a complete application of epoxy primer followed by the 2K urethane primer.
I sprayed the epoxy yesterday. I used red oxide this time only because I had more of it on hand than black. My intention was to only spray one coat but I saw a couple of areas where it didn't reflect quite right so I sprayed a second coat just on those areas so I could lightly block them before spraying the 2K. One spot was high up on the p/s quarter over the wheel opening and on the p/s of the hood towards the middle.

After spraying the epoxy yesterday:





This morning I blocked the areas where it didn't reflect well and could see that would be correctable very easily with the 2K. It doesn't take much of a low or high spot to make a panel not reflect well. I used sanding blocks and just barely moved it over the panels just to reveal any flaws I might have missed. I did find a few and used just a small amount of spot putty on them.

I sprayed on the 2K urethane primer this afternoon. I'm using the SPI's Turbo Primer which their fast curing one. I put 2 coats on the entire car and then a 3rd coat only on areas that I thought might need a little extra build. I taped off the bumper. It's looking very good to me at this point. I'll start blocking it tomorrow with 180 grit.
