don't do it...your gonna probably end up wanting to take it off on the long run...depending on the lip...trust me...its a lot of hassle for nothing...you'll end up cracking it off...that just my opinion.

I am not sure about the epoxy you are talking about, but the only way i know is to use fiberglass. There is a more technical name, but basically it is fiberglass in a tube. You use it just like filler, but it is extremely hard to sand and a lot stronger. Once you are done sanding you primer, seal, then paint. If you want the more technical name I can find out, but this is the only way I know to do what you want to do.
