I agree to get the white off and as much as the green base paint as possible. I don't agree about using an epoxy primer over it. The reason being epoxy primer does 700 hours of salt spray urethane primers do 8000 hours salt spray ,better suited for a surface such as this one. Permanent rust sealer / surfacer are better suited for going over old paint and in some cases rusted surfaces because it deprives the surface of oxygen and moisture. After two coats of urethane sealer then comes the epoxy surfacer then the color coat. These vehicles done properly, you can drive for the next 30 Years. I did a 55 Chevy like this in 2006 and it's still show quality.
