Reply to About to paint my jogs, any last minute pointers?

so i just completely sanded my jog wheels. i used 150 grit at first to get the paint off, and then i used 800 fine grit to smooth it out. i sanded in a circular motion (not around the jog, but in small swirls) and im happy with the results. it looks like it came out of the factory with swirls but its very smooth.

but before i go into the painting i was wondering how many coats should i put on? i also got a clear coat to protect the black. i was believeing 2 thin coats of black, and 2 thin coats of clear? can someone who has done this fill me in on what would be best? and should i use a primer? it says to use primer when painting on bare metal.

by the way i got krylon satin black and krylon satin clear. the satin is like a semi flat, but it's not glossy at all. its sort of like an eggshell, except black of coarse.
