Prep is EVERYTHING when it comes to painting. You don't get all that clear off and pussy out on primer and that **** will flake off. If not on its own, the first time that fairing bends a bit too much or a rock hits it.
Of course, it really comes down to how good you're going for. If you don't care about flaking, orange peel, scratches, pooling, etc, then fine. Go on the cheap and lazy.
If you want it to last, prep that noise so hard.
