I'm gonna spray the front piece on my case and was wondering if i should prime it first or not.
Would it make any differences?

You don't have to prime it. You might want to scuff it, though, like with a 3m scotch brite pad.

yeah, a fine grit sand paper should be fine. Make sure you clean the surface really well before painting.

Clean the surface with a cheese cloth and water and make sure it completely dries after sanding. Priming is not a bad idea though if you have the time, it will assure the paint will stick best to the case.
