Doesn't matter. It will need to be sanded off before being painted regardless.

plasti-cote. It's "apply direct to metal" self etching, and sandable. It's been remarkably weatherproof compared to some of the other primers i've rattlecanned.. Not sure about adhesion over it yet...It's most likely ok to paint over, not a show car or anything...
but probably best to remove and repaint with a gun later...
