So my intention is to topcoat any e-coat parts that are exposed to the elements. Example: My outer roof skin was e-coated and I painted the top of it, but did not paint the bottom of it because it is sealed within the roof.

It's easy insurance. I think I do it because I used to see rusty aftermarket fenders people had put on and not painted. Not sure if they were e-coat but I ain't taking no chances!
