Thoughts?

What do y'all think of using Eastwoods 2k epoxy primer in a spray can with extension wands to spray inside my boxed frame rails after frame has been dipped? Ideas of other methods? is brushing epoxy primer easy enough if mixed then snaked through frame rails with sponges/brushes? what would be the best method?

Why would you need to top coat the frame after it's dipped?
I've used the 2k epoxy primer on the "bed" after repairing holes, but not as a top coat.
Here is what I used on the inside of the frame:

After prepping the surface, I hit the outside of the frame with Eastwood Rust Encapsulator and top coated with their Cassis Black.

Dipped meaning acid dipped/stripped

If I were attacking this again, I'd use the steps I outlined above.
It was affordable, looks good, and is lasting very well.
Cheers
