zinc chromite then paint or prime then paint the outboard?

[countvlad]

I've searched around but i get different answers and I cant decide which way to go with this. Motor was is fairly rough shape, paint wise, and decided to paint it. I sanded down the whole thing and since i had various spots where the aluminum was visible decided to spray the zinc chromite paint over the whole thing. Now what I cant find is if I should prime the motor before painting or since the zinc chromite is already a primer should I just paint over it? tnx

Paint directly over the ZC which is a primer.

before and after pics... with two coats so far 1 left to go... the pictures were taken right after i painted so the gloss is not very visible, plus the motor is in the garage...
