My two pennies, save the money you're going to spend on primer, paint gun, sandpaper, etc etc etc and put it towards paying a pro to do it. FYI most primer is NOT waterproof AND almost any painter worth paying will be pissed that its covered in primer and thus you will have to pay more at that time for a quality job. Another negative is that primer does a GREAT job of hiding little dings and dents and thus they will not get fixed before final paint and thus the final paint will look like poo.
That said, I do love the primer look, but don't just do it to save money, you'll spend more long run by doing that. If you really want the primer look, look into flat paints or epoxy based primers.
thats some good advice there. especially the part about a pro not wanting the job to be started with primer. most likely he will opt to strip your primer off before he starts.
