Repair (minor) alloy scuffs

    Ladies and gents,

    I'm looking for a little help here since I'm getting confused.
    Here's what I have in order to get the job done:
    - Grey primer (bottle)
    - Wheel silver spray paint (acrylic)
    - Heavy duty polyurethane lacquer
    - Sandpaper (320, 1200, 2500).

    I read a few articles and also checked a couple of youtube videos but the story is different each time.
    Everybody agrees you should sand the area from coarse to fine and then clean it thoroughly, but then opinions start to diverge:
    - Most sources start off with primer, but some just use filler (putty) if needed, if not jump to paint straight away. Must primer always be used?
    - Some recommend 24h waiting (or even hot curing) between primer and paint, or paint and lacquer, others just wait 30 min. Which is correct?
    - Some advise polishing back not only the filler/primer, but also the paint (before applying lacquer). Why would anyone turn a shiny spray paint into a matte surface?

    Any feedback is appreciated.
