This was from Eric as a PM .. read bottom up...
Epoxy primer is a 2 part mix, sprayed from a paint gun with a 1.5 to 1.7 tip. If you are wanting a pro. job later, do not use any 1 part, or spray can products. They are all substandard, and not compatible with todays 2 part systems. They will have to be stripped off before good products are applied.
Here's a link to a good on-line store for paint products.

Always get a tech sheet with whatever product you buy, it will include all the instructions for use.
Good luck,
Eric

Thanks,, I would like to do allot my self but most likely have a professional do the paint and I want to do the proper prep as best as possible... On the Epoxy primer is that mix with a sprayer or is it also in spray cans?

It's always better to go to metal when redoing a cars paint. Unless you just want a quick job that is cheap. I would use an epoxy primer like PPG has call DP40 with the DP401 catalyst. Make sure the metal is clean and free of contaminates. Clean it with DX330 from PPG. If the metal is rusty I would ethch it with Ospho & a scotch brite, then after it's dry, scuff it with a dry red scotch brite, clean with the DX330. Then apply epoxy primer.
