should tell you all this on the back of the can. But basically with primer leave about 15 mins between coats, make sure its touch dry. Put on as many coats as it needs to coat all of it properly, usually 3-4 coats. Its best to leave it a good few hours to dry properly before applying the paint. The paint is then the same, 15 mins between coats, as many coats as u want until your happy with the result. Leave it 24 hours atleast before applying lacquer, give a few coats of this, apply same as the paint and primer.
And dont 4get, when ur applying the primer and paint, use sum fine sandpaper/ wet and dry paper to give the paint a texture to hold to.
Hope this helps :)
