Protecting 4130 until I can prime it?

Can I get your thoughts on the adequacy of his suggestion?
I'm going to be removing old paint and primer from 4130 over a long
period of time. After a few hours, the bare metal will begin to rust,
so I'd like to protect it until I can apply a two-part epoxy,
probably a month or so later.
He suggests any of the lacquer-based spray-on paints would act as a
barrier, and would not deter two-part epoxy from adhering to the metal
when I get around to applying it.
Your thoughts please? - Mike
Epoxy prime as you go. You can mix very small amounts by sucking it
out of the cans using syringes and mix in a small graduated cup.Apply
it with a disposable sponge brush. Any leftovers can be saved in your
freezer for a few days.
