Would be a better finish if u used both,but isn't totally necessary if there just going black!Remember to give them a really light sanding once you've primered them before u put the colour on!!Does help btw,I am speakin from experience!

Give them a good rub with a solvent cleaner aswell before you start.

Surprising how much shit they soak up.

thinners wont do the trick

get some scotch-brite pads and put spirit wipe/panel wipe on them and key the surface making sure you give them a good going over and then do it 1 last time using a new piece of scotch-brite pad with panel wipe/spirit wipe
