I did this on my '55 sedan body in 1981 - which had had one lacquer repaint -- but I used lacquer primer (Ditzler DZL-72) instead of epoxy. The nose was stripped to bare metal and done "right". To this day I can't tell the difference.

I also painted over a single repaint on my '64 Vette in 1996. Still looks perfect today. Go for it and save the $$s!
