Spraying engine bay/boot

Just thought Id check to see if the experts on here agree.
I am doing a bare metal respray for the engine bay and boot, and the plan is to do a couple of coats of Zinc 182 onto the bare metal followed by a couple of high build primer.....or more as necessary. Followed by x amounts of top coat cellulose until i get the finish i desire. I was just curious as to whether using the zinc 182 as a basecoat would cause reaction problems with the celly primer and top coat?

Thanks,
YG

Don't think so - but try on piece of scrap metal first!

The front grill is a tricky one, i tracked down a local company and had mine sandblasted, only way to get into all the difficult areas.
