I know I should have done this earlier, but I'll be getting my car sandblasted in 8 hours, and I still can't make heads nor tails of the best primer system to use. Should I use a zinc-chromate primer, an epoxy primer, or a wash primer? Any specific product recommendations? The car will still need much bodywork and metal R&R before it is ready for paint. AlsoKeep in mind that I am outside the US and have no access to POR-15... I'd really appreciate your suggestions, thanks!

I think once you've hammered on PPG dp90, 40, 74 LF you will decide it's pretty good stuff. I bead blasted some aluminium sills for a jeep truck hunting wagon and 5 years later it still hasn't rubbed off. They say plastic filler won't stick to it but I think it sticks better than to bare steel and it's sealed to stop rust from forming under the filler. Just sand blast a piece of scrap metal, paint it with dp epoxy let it dry about 12 hrs. don't even scuff it and put some rage gold filler on it. Let it dry and try to tear it up after about two days.
