ive never used primer before, i don't think it's necessary...just get some fine sandpaper to lightly sand down the chrome before u paint it..and high temperature flat black spray paint will work...you also might want to get a lot of masking tape if you want to make it look like the '03..the blinker well is all chrome, so you're going to have to tape off most of it...unless you want to paint all that black as well..your choice

There is no need to use primer. Sand it down and start painting... Use High Temp paint...
