Don't use epoxy unless you are 1. going to apply your top coat within 7 days or 2. plan on re applying epoxy before paint.
Real epoxy primer is not sandable and has not chemical bond after 7 days so your paint won't stick to it unless you re apply the primer.
I just primed using a DTM (direct to metal) primer, Urethane/ epoxy mix that is sandable. The brand I went with is SEM "metalock" its a 2k 4:1:1 primer:hardener:thinner
I don't think you will have any luck "sanding" that Henry's off, I me pretty sure you can steam it and use a putty knife though.
The bigger issue i see is you using sheet metal screws, replace them with pop rivets and you won't be giving people flat tires... A cheap pneumatic rivet gun can be had from Hearbougher fright and will keep you from getting carpal tunnel or the dreaded "claw" and after 960 rivets my hand feels fine
