Hello, just joined here, I primed my truck box about 3 years ago tn epoxy prime, and due to some health problems I never got a chance to do anything with it. What do I need to do to get this ready for paint again?

Was it pretty much garaged most of that time?

You will need to sand it to remove the top layer and then shoot another coat of epoxy over it.

You need to clean it real good before sanding, you don't want to
drive any contaminates into the primer. I would scrub it real good with a gray scuff pad and Dawn detergent, then sand with 400 grit and spray another coat of epoxy thinned to be a sealer coat. JC.
