Default Prime before paint?

Should I prime the area I want to touch up on my bravo 1, first, or can I go ahead and just spray it?

If you feather edge the scratches, then use their zinc chromate primer before painting. If you just want to make it black, ScotchBrite #7447 then spray, eh dave?

PPG does make a self etching primer in a spray can for about $9.00 if you need to cover any bare matal.
