I use Axalta 2580CR. It's a chromate epoxy, so kind of the gold standard. Rumors are it will be discontinued soon (due to the chromate), so get it while you can.

SPI. Great epoxy for a fair price. Sands nicely if needed. I also reduce it and use it as a sealer before base.

Free shipping when ordered direct over the phone.

Using anything besides epoxy first is like putting a band-aid on before the cut
