I usually dont use primer on mine but if your putting a lighter color over a dark one it might be a good idea. I would do a lite misting of white primer first then use the paint.

Hmmm, I dont know then. Spray some primer on a garbage piece or on a piece of a parts tree and let it dry to the touch and spray the silver and see what it looks like.
