At the very least I'd reccomend a light scuff to break the gloss and clean water rinse. If there are any body imperfections, definately primer and some sanding; if it's straight, you might be able to get around primer, so it's up to you.

For a Black & Silver, I would suggest you lay the silver down over the whole thing, once it has cured come back and mask off for your black section. Once that's cured too, it'd be a good idea to hit it with a layer of clear, do some detailing, and another layer of clear.

The clear is optional, but if it's going to be driven by anybody inexperienced, it helps your custom paint last longer. Plus you get more shine. (yes, people will repeatedly bash the custom body you spent weeks working on into a wall or table leg.) And if you do the clear before detailing you can correct a detail mistake without as much worry of screwing the base paint.

Those pics were a 3 color paint scheme using 2 seperate kandies (LanEvo), a single color kandy (custom truck body), and some dual-stage flames that came on the clone when I got it.
