Probably not.
Just make sure you get it clean and scuff what you can with a scotch-brite.

You don't need to prime if you have no bare metal.
400 or 600 dry and paint.

How would I know? It depends on the brand and product.
What does the can say? Are you using activator?

The DuPont uses a combination activator/reducer at a 4:1 ratio...4 parts color...1 part activator.
The Glasurit...no clue.

Red
is
expensive.
Look into PPG Omni...it's their 'value' line.
Take the part you want to match and check the stock chips or some foreign car colors as a comparison and pick something close.
Joshua,
When it comes to painting I'm many laps behind DP but I've had good luck with DuPont Nason, which is also DuPont's value line. I've also tried matching stock and foreign car color chips but the ones they had were pretty small and hard to compare due to the small chip size. when I got the bike done it was OK but not quite the red that I wanted. Close though. Red is expensive but reasonably good quality paint isn't cheap in any color. You'll forget how much the paint costs once it's done. Also, I've had good luck with pricing at auto paint stores. Sometimes they will give you a much better price, all you have to do is ask. Stick with red, don't go to a color you don't really want just to save some money.

Ducpainter, I'm getting ready to paint my project bike. Thinking about doing a dark grey tank with a white stripe. What's the general order of steps I should take? Primer, all grey, then mask it off and paint white stripe? Or primer, all white, then mask it off and paint grey over the white? Thanks!

You can either paint the white, mask, and then grey...
or the reverse.
It's less masking if you paint the white first.
You don't need to paint the entire tank white first if you decide to do it that way...just wide enough to cover your stripe.
If you're using rattle cans make sure you give it enough dry time to avoid lifting.

Great, thank you very much. I'm assuming "lifting" means the paint lifting as you pull the tape away, make sense.
