'You are correct with using epoxy primer. I ran into serious problems years ago after getting into recovering jobs that had only zinc-chromate under. The glues were dissolving the primer and there was severe corrosion under the fabric. BTW I am a long time A&P IA. I guess for parts that you are not gluing fabric to, a thin coat of the powder process would be ok. I found the " if a lot is good, more is better" is a problem with powder coating. It will fill up holes unless you use plugs on it and will really mess up threads also.

I've used poly tack successfully directly atop the Poly epoxy primer, Poly epoxy varnish over wood, atop Deft 44GN11 epoxy primer on steel and aluminum, and atop primer + topcoat of Imron urethane. I've never tried Poly Tack atop powder coated material.
