I'm epoxy priming everything. But I see that e-coated parts don't need to be primed. However, some say that the part will match better if it is blasted and epoxy primed. What's the recommended procedure for e-coated parts (in his case the Dansk battery support and tray).

I guess they will still need to be primed (again) because they will be welded on and those areas will need priming after the welding. So, is the correct procedure to sand the part enough to get adhesion (where it will be visible after welding; and, of course, sand it completely and apply weld thru primer within 1/4" of the plug welds on the pinched locations), weld it, then epoxy prime all that is still visible?
