Default primer required to paint canopy?

Hello
I want to paint the inside of my clear canopy with black paint.

Do I need a primer before applying the black spray paint like we do on cowl?
Scoubi.

Scoubi,
Think about it... If you are painting on the inside and you shoot primer first, the primer will be the color you see from the outside.
Shoot your color first, then if it is still transparent, shoot either more color or a primer backer.
Just make sure your surface is CLEAN B4 painting.
