Epoxy powder coat as base for liquid paint

I have a customer that is building a custom Street Rod and wants me to powder coat the body with a epoxy powder coat. Will this create any problems for him when he goes to liquid paint the car once it is done?

Epoxies make good primers for most topcoats so you should not have a problem.
