I have the same concern. Is primer required or is it just desired?

Blake, are you planning to brush it instead of spray to keep better control of the mess? It may leave brush strokes so consider adding some thinner to help it flow out. I had that problem with the enamel trim paint in my house and after I thinned the paint it flowed out and did not show the brush marks.

Within the next month I will strip off the blue paint on my 1957 235 to repaint the grey for the 1946 color. I'm sure that I will be pretty frustrated by the time I finish with the stripper and cleaner chemicals.

Please keep in touch with me and let me know how it works out.
