You will need an adhesion promoter, I would assume. Then put primer over that... but don't know if it's necessary.

so you want to paint ehhh
well you have to clean it that is the first step, since you are dealing with meatal i would highly recamend a fine steel wool or a dremel. after you clean it hit it with some paint thiner and then wash it off or clean it off.
then you must primer, i would use a rustoleum metal primer, and then you can paint, usualy do 2-3 coats at least and then clear coat to protect the shiat

no


and you don't really need primer, just lightly scuff up the fucker with some sand paper and then spray it with engine paint.
