Yes, if the epoxy hasn't catalyzed completely, you can spray whatever you want on top of it. If it's outside the recoat window, you'll need to scuff it before squirting anything else over it. I've noticed epoxies from different vendors can be easy or tough to sand. Haven't shot any DP for a long time and don't recall how it compares to others, but they can be sturdier than the 2K primers. You can't go wrong mixing according to the manufacturers directions. Pictures look great! Wish I'd had time to come down to Tacoma and visit while we were in Seabeck, but it was a very short stay. Keep up the good work.
