No real need, just mask what you want masked. The get some fine grit sand paper to slightly roughen up the surface. Look on the back of the paper, the bigger the number the better
. I use 600grit. Then lay the paint, primer isn't always needed

EDIT: pick an opinion and see how it comes out
use the opposite next time if it comes out bad

agreed man prime away the paint will stick better and you will see if there are any places you missed sanding and might need putty.

Yes and when You Primer that is painting too! so if you dont know if you should or should not primer means you do not know everything about painting.
Remember even us old timers are still learning to paint you never know everything.

Decent pair of Hondas.
I think the wagon still needs *something*. I don't know what yet, but something. The unstickercharging made it a lot more sano, but now it looks like just another soccer-mom ride.
The S2000 is off to a pretty nice start. What color are ya going to squirt?
