Hi guys, I finally got the chrome off the engine. I used drano and man did it work fast. I bought some metalizer lacquer by MM and do I need to use a primer 1st and if so what kind. Thanks

You really don't have to use a primer,but that depends what you are going to apply it to.Metalizer is a plastic safe lacquer. If this is some custom made part with sanding and putty and other stuff done to it,yeah I'd prime it. You mention an engine so how will you prep that? After gluing the block and heads together I usually go over the entire thing with a soft brass brush.Cleans up the raw plastic real nice.
