what color too, because ive used epoxy paint for metal appliances for my interior bc it goes on one to two coats, no scratch marks, etc, and shines well.

make sure you scrub with soapy water,rinse then wipe down with lacquer thinner.
If you use an adhesion promoter,just use very light coats(2)

Yes to the adhesion promoter, then prime. Some don't use it, but it's extra insurance.
