Help with paint!

Hello, I'm building a stitch and glue plywood dinghy and I need some help with the paint. I am taping the joints with epoxy and glass. Also I will coat the hull with epoxy, or at least the bottom of it, with what is left after taping. I will use polyurethane paint.

1. Should I use sth. between epoxy and PU? will PU stick well to it? Or should I need some in between? I want a cheap solution.

2. Will PU stick well to ply? (possible uncoated areas)

Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't paint un-primed plywood.

Would recomend sealing the wood with expoxy, and then almost any paint, including latex house paint, should stick to it.
