Think it's Ally, so etch primer, colour, laquer (if applicable)
I always start with a vapour blast if poss to key the ally. 2part acid etch then base coat / 2K then 2K clearcoat.
Ally oxidises really quickly which is why I vapour first to give good clean keyed surface for the acid etch to grab on to.
