Every professional restoration company I have seen in operation always completely blasts or dips the body shell 1st to expose all the problem areas and then begins the metalwork.

My, we have gotten off track.
Yes, fully epoxy primer after stripping the body and document problem areas that need to be fixed.
Go look at one of the cars that MCR has on their site that has a lot of photos taken (the car has progressed in their shop past the point of paint). You will get how to proceed on your project by following one of their picture histories and see how they do it.
