Default RE: Paint Question

ORIGINAL: Skip

I'm building a Dyna Flight Decathalon and I need to paint the cowl and wheel pants. I will be using a DLE 30 cc gas engine and was wondering if Rustoleum would be a good choice. Do I need primer or do I apply it straight from the rattle can?
I'm assuming you're spraying ABS parts since fiberglass would need primer
Many Rattle can paints cover fine without primer, but if you're going to use any shades of yellow, orange or red I'd use a solid white primer first unless the ABS cowl is perfectly white, any dark spots will show through.

good luck
