I agree with CNKS. I've never done it that way but some do as an option to improve the bond with the topcoat - the thinking being that a chemical bond is better than a mechanical one. I won't argue with that but just say that I have never found it to be necessary. There certainly is no reason to "seal" the 182 because of any perceived compatibility problem with the topcoat. As long as you have a satisfactory sandscratch in the 182, the mechanical bond that provides is satisfactory for the topcoat. I have never seen anything from either PPG or DuPont suggesting that it wasn't. Adding a "sealer" coat of epoxy would introduce another time window into the process. Since I do all my painting outside, I have to contend with changing weather conditions. I do not want to introduce any more time constraints than are necessary. I see no compelling reason in this case to do so, having had excellent results without it. There is no time window for topcoating the 182.
