Default On going Project

Well i'm going to start working on my car, which is also my daily driver,
since this might take a little time, i'll be working panel by panel
I'll be using PPg products, and Evercoat Extreme
now my question is after the bodywork what product can i use to protect the panel from Sun, Rain, ect... when i use the car?

my plan was to
sand to metal, epoxy prime, filler, then What??? 2kprimer or epoxy primer to protect from environment?

Thanks for your help,

you wanna put the filler on the metal then prime that spot...you want the best adhesion for the filler. 2K is what you put down over all the old paint and primer spots. I my self on body areas that i worked i put down DPLF.

will i be`able to use my car with the DPLF on it?
Lets say after puting that Epoxy primer, it might take me a month or two before putting the basecoat?
will that primer be able to withstand rain, sunligh, ect for that time?
