You are welcome.
I always use a single reduced coat of SPI epoxy for a sealer/adhesion coat before color no matter what I'm spraying over. I use my Iwata and reduce it 25 to 33% with slow reducer.

When I spray a 2 coats of epoxy on something I'm not going to topcoat like suspension parts, inner fenders and such (and the insides of those wheels), I reduce it 10 to 15%.

Whenever I'm spraying epoxy on something I will follow up with another type of primer, I don't reduce it at all and spray it with a cheaper primer gun.

Btw, I used that same Summit Wimbledon White paint to paint my grille, bumpers and headlight bezels.
