Was told always " Epoxy " over bare metal and then brush on sealer ( dont know what type )

Sorry , my knowledge mechanically and restoration is quite poor .
And I,d like to thank everyone for the interest in this project so far.
Like many I am still trying to justify the cost as it would be a hell of alot cheaper doing it yourself. But for some reason , I wanted to save the wagon.

The Rant .......
As most know , I had this up for sale a little while ago. Advertised it sincerely, straight with a little bit of rust in usual spots. Unknowingly was burnt myself when I purchased it.
So I would like to thank the few following this thread, that messaged me and gloated,stating how I was going to burn them with this rust bucket and how they nearly got scammed etc.
2 words you should learn . " Empathy " and " Integrity " and boys , did you miss out cause unlike you , and the few that know me
A)I would have given your money back and let you keep the car n bits..
or
B)I would might have probably paid for a partial or full resto
cause I value principal over money and I have a lot of both
