AMD panel top coat

[fireguyfire]

In the process of hanging full AMD quarter panels and I am wondering about the black coating that the panels came with; do you have to remove this coating, or can you go ahead and epoxy prime over it?

We stripped it off of the panels on my bronze car.

You can base over that  black e-coat after sanding with most paint systems, but my experience has been better adhesion and chip resistance by first spraying a couple coats of good epoxy or urethane primer then resanding.

I'm assuming the e-coat their panels, though I haven't bought any from them.

If it is e-coat I would leave as much of it as possible on it, scuff it well and shoot a couple coats of epoxy and do your body work from there.  The e-coat wil provide the best corrosion protection.
