Each has It's place in the work place.
If you not going to paint it 'right away' the epoxy primer will keep is 'sealed' till your ready in a mild climate. Then it depends on what materials your going to paint with; as to how you proceed.
Rarely is anything painted with lacquer anymore as stated and ALL the Mfg. materials are different.
This is why you need professional advice from your area. What works for someone in California may not in the 'mid west', 'east coast' or another country.
Websites and 'how to' books are fine (information sources) for students. However; It's realy easy to do more damage than good and it takes years to learn this trade because of all the variables involved.
If your not friends with a Body Shop, make some. Go to the local (auto) paint store & see who needs helpers.
You'll be surprised how much credit you can earn for just sweeping up & cleaning.
Good luck.
