Gonna have a crack at painting

RobAMerc

so the replacement wing on my car is awful - terrible fit and the paint aint up to much.
I found another wing thats not rusty - ( miracle ) and I thought I would have a crack at painting it myself.

So - having stripped the old paint off, and sanded this with 240, 800 and 1500 grit paper, I have a question.....

Do I need a primer on this?

I am thinking its already primed and I can just bust some paint on it and hit it with clear.

What do the knowledgeable folks of boards make of it ?

btw - this is still wet and looks much rougher than it is.

thanks

A house painter but have tried a bit of what you're at , yes you need primer

You need to feather out all those stone chips. 1500 is way too fine i'd go with 400 git and then prime it and once dry flat off the primer then paint. Hit the whole thing with a scotch brite pad very thoroughly before priming.

Filler for those stone chips.
