Bob,
I'm not sure what type of epoxy paint you are using. Read the label
and see if they recommend a primer. If not, Dupont Imron would be a
good choice. Available at auto paint supply stores. It is the same
primer used under the finish coat on our coaches. Two part epoxy
also. Sandblasting the battery boxes is a lot of work and you want
to be sure you are putting the most durable paint on it you can
find. You don't want to have to do it a second time. That is one of
the harshest enviornments there is for paint. About the only thing
worse would be to add salt water.
