you should always prime first give the job a better finish

you need to score the drill first use a scouring pad (only lightely though)
good clean using pannel wipe
make sure its all dry
3 or 4 coats of primer
4 or 5 coats of paint
4 or 5 coats of laquer

in between each got leave 10 - 20 mins depending on how heavy the coats are
leave a few hours for primer to dry before applying paint
start applying laquer when paint is slightly tacky

leave to dry as long as possible
