Yes, it is a waterproof primer, not like 1 part primers like Krylon, Rustoleum,
etc. All you need to do is lightly scuff the primed areas with 320 grit paper
to prepare it for a topcoat (you'd also probably be doing this to the unprimed
areas as well to prepare them).

For a higher quality paint job, you would put a coat of sealer on the whole car
before you shoot the topcoat.
