We'd always say yes to priming your models, while cured resin is paintable, it will always help paint stick better to your model if it has been primed in advance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to prime my models.
Do you ship items with Supports?
Sometimes. We generally remove all supports from prints before shipping, but some models, especially models that have long thin parts to them, like a thin blade may mean that we don't take the supports off these to better protect them during delivery.
How do I remove supports?
If you have a good (sharp) pair of model cutters, they'll make short work of the resin supports. Some people like to cut them right at the point they meet the model, others like to cut them higher up and then file any 'nubs' down, making them smooth again.
We've not tried it ourseleves, but we've even heard of dropping your model in warm water for a few minutes, then the supports can even be peeled off, but cutters are our suggested method.
I can see where supports were on my model
We take off supports before the resin has cured (most of the time), doing this greatly reduces the amount of visible support marks, but if you still have any, you can just use a model file (we like flexible ones) to just remove them, resin files down quickly and easily, just be wary of resin dust.
