Priming Cast Iron???

Is it necessary to prime Cast Iron before putting paint on it or just strip to bare Cast and Paint. Open to suggestions on this.

I use phosphoric acid. Brush it on, wipe it off. Let it dry and it's ready for a few coats of oil base paint.

I found if you degrease thoroughly, and use a good self leveling primer - should come out fine. I use Krylon grey self leveling.
