Hello there. I came across your query regarding how to use primer on metal surfaces and can help. When you are looking to prime a metallic surface, ensure you buy a primer meant to be used specially on metallic surfaces. It should be a rust-inhibiting primer. The process is not that tricky. I will mention it below.

Method to Prime on Metallic Surfaces
To apply the primer to your prepared metal surface, you should focus on applying it thinly. The coats shouldn’t be thick.
I say not to apply thick coats because they take longer to dry and may also cause unevenness.
Use a spray or brush to apply a thin and even coat of the rust inhibiting primer meant.
Let the primer dry completely before you add another layer or move on to the paint.
You should also lightly sand the primer between coats. This helps develop a smooth finish and also ensures better adhesion for the next paint layer.
Use fine-grit sandpaper and get rid of any dust before you apply the next paint coat.
I hope this helps you.
