Well it depends on what kind of primer was put on it, as some primers will
eat into others and cause them to lift (laquer will eat into enamel and some
epoxies), and others are more weather resistant (epoxy based), also some are
sandable and others are not. You probably should ask the guy you got it from
what he used so you know what you can use over it. Once I found out what was
on it, then I could decide what grit paper to use as you may want to sand it
back off and use something better (epoxy based works very well for me in the
salt belt) and then use a system thats compatible with the top coats. What I
do is start with a primer sealer(epoxy based etching type like DP40) then
move to a primer surfacer(K-36), then use a reduced version of the DP40 to
final seal then move to Deltron base coat( color of my choice) then a clear
coat, these are all from PPG industries and are a system, meaning they will
work together and are compatible.

Hey don't worry about it, we ALL have to start somewhere, and this list WILL
help you more than you'll ever know. I hope this helps.
