what I do is scuff the areas that you plan to paint with a scothbright pad. you really don't need to primer unless you are doing a repair or if metal is showing. just make sure you scuff the top layer of paint pretty good so the new paint has a good area to stick too. if your using the exact paint that was sprayed before you wont really need to respray those areas. just wet sand and buff everything after your done painting.
