I think he was getting confused as to when you put on primer.

here's the basic rule of thumb step by step
1 print cut .fold and glue your pep
2 harden it with what ever you choose be it Hot glue or resin and fibreglass
3 bondo over the surfaces and sand till smooth
4 PRIMER time spray on a light layer of primer let it dry then sand over it with fine grit paper
5 rinse and repeat step 4. 2 - 3 layers of primer is normally enough but its down to your own judgement.
6 spray on your top coat (main colour) thin layer and sand as above.
7 rinse and repeat step 6. again 2-3 coats all depends on preference.
8 once all is completely dry normally 24 hours its then time to add your shading effect there's plenty of tuts about this so I wont keep going
9 add the battle damage then leave to dry.
10 optional you can then seal your paint with a clear laquer but this is optional
hope this helps with any confusion.
 
primers just to find imperfections or to allow paint to go on smoothly and yes i was talking about pepakura cause you have to fiberglass it and bond, and when brushing you still have to go light coats if its dripping then your not doing it right primer wont stop it
