I think the knowledgeable paint guys need to have treads like these saved in the tech section or something, I recall a year ago I put etch on my Duster after sanding it bare, put a 2k on it, and the majority told me to forget that stuff, sand it off and put epoxy on the bare. After my wondering why the etch even existed in the first place if no one was to use it, I just decided to hold off. I'll be painting car in a month or so and its say this whole time in etch/2k/sealer

This thread helped me. thanks.
