    Hi Mark,
    I have used the BAL kit quite a few times and yes you do. The kit comes with all the gumph, primer etc and very easy instructions. Easy peasy....

    if you buy a kit it will tell you what to do. but yes it would normally need to be primed.

    Remember the primer may take a little longer to dry because of the green board
