this doesnt make sense. primer is what you put on before you paint.

the way i painted my scooter a while back was i sprayed about 2 coats of primer. then 2 coats of whatever color. and then just 1 coat of clear coat. it worked fine and looked great.

when u spray paint it, do one thin coat at a time, 2-3 times over then clear coat it the same way 2 times and you're good to go! too thick a layer of paint at one go comes off really quickly

You put primer on first.
First, sand down the surface to a smooth, maybe matte finish.
Then, add primer, maybe two coats - DON'T SPRAY TOO HEAVILY IN ONE SPOT. YOU'LL GET DRIPS = RUINED JOB.
then, spray the colour you want on, and maybe another, same as above.
I never use clear coats, so meh
