Painting Door Handles

[Robbo VS3]

Im going to paint my door handles to match the ute. Do i need a primer before painting them?

[hulmy29]

yes, plus if their on a vs they might be a bit rough and need some smoothing out. Plus if their the stock black then they have a gel coat that needs to sanded off before primering/painting

What sort of primer do i need to paint metal? What is it called?
