Right... Primer is not technically necessary. But, it does help the paint to bond to the surface a lot better than paint alone. Primer also fills in and masks small imperfections that would be visible if it was just paint alone. i.e. little scratches and knicks that the sanding didn't get. So, no, primer is not technically needed. But it definately helps if you want the job to be perfect, professional, and not like it was just blasted quick with some spray paint.
