Thanks John, I will use epoxy only on clean dry metal after any rusted areas have been treated with navel jelly and rinsed and cleaned and dryed.
However,on the back of the car around the gas tank on the trunk floor and on the frame, I painted all of it with a rust inhibitor. I used a couple of different types. Phosphoric Acid and Zinc Phosphate(Bill Hirsch "Miracle Rust Remover and Metal Prep").The other contains Phosperic Acid and Potassium Dichlomate,(Jasco"Prep and Primer"). Jasco says to paint with undercoat primer and paint.
I'm guessing that black enamel paint will be ok to use after applying the undercoat primer. The Jasco does not say what kind of primer but I don't think the self etching should be used.
