Do I need to re prime edges?

I have finished blocking my high build primer and now I have some areas, on panel edges and a couple places on the body line where bare metal is exposed. I am using House of Kolor CHROMATE FREE EPOXY PRIMER (KP2CF) and will be using A two-component acrylic urethane primer sealer. KO-SEAL® II. Will the sealer take care of those exposed edges or should I re-apply the Epoxy primer to those areas? It was suggested by a friend that I could over reduce the epoxy primer ( around 50% ) and just touch up those areas and then scuff with grey Scotch Brite pad. I am afraid that if I do these touch ups, it will leave a dry edge on the already smooth surfaces. If I used the Very Slow reducer, would that help prevent creating the rough dry edges? And should I use the small touch up gun and narrow the pattern and just make quick half trigger passes until the metal edges are full hiding?

In Short, Should I either shoot one more coat overall with the KP2CF Epoxy primer, then possibly hit it again with 600P wet and just staying off of the edges, and then I could spray my sealer, basecoat and clear, or would it be alright to just go ahead now and do the sealer, base and clear. I just don't know it the KO-SEAL II will adhere to those sand thru areas.

Either I asked a dumb question as compared to other posts, or I am in the wrong forum catagory or the question is a difficult one to advise. After more than 30 views and no responses, I am wondering if I should post the topic in another section.

You can spray the epoxy sealer directly over those bare areas. Just be sure that they are not rusting on your by now.
No need to reprime those areas. Sealer will be fine.
