Part of my floors are epoxy primed and the new replacement floors are bare metal. I wan't to paint them red as they came from the factory. Is zero rust a good solution? I know it would be good over the bare metal, but what about the expoy primer? Maybe I will epoxy prime the new metal then zero rust? Is there any benefit to using zero rust over previously primed metal?

if the epoxy has been on the car over 8 hours or so, you will need to scuff it to get the topcoat to adhere properly (im sure thats what you wanted to hear) some epoxies dont have the uv protection of a true topcoat, thats why you need to paint over them. it would be best to lightly sand the old primer, spray everything, then topcoat with the zero rust...

Will I have to scuff the epoxy for any type of paint I use?

Epoxy primer is an excellent moisture barrier. If it's going on the floor the UV rays shouldn't be a problem. I wouldn't think that you'd have to top coat it unless you just wanted to.
