I’m getting ready to paint the roof on my 70 Suburban. I’ve been using a random orbit sander to remove the paint. I used 80 grit to remove the white and gold paint and now using 150 grit to remove the primer. I’m wire brushing the drip rail. My plan is as follows.

Treat and then paint the inside of the drip rail with POR15
Prime with epoxy primer when the POR15 gets to the topcoat window.
Prime with a sanding primer. In another post Martinsr recommends a polyester primer. Slicksand is the name I think.
Block sand the roof and paint factory white.

Am I missing something?
Any comments or problems with the plan?
