You can polish the primer coat before paint.
Primer also helps in making imperfections (a spot you forgot to fill in, rough spots, etc.) visible before painting. This is to avoid discovering a fuck-up that would require more filling and sanding after you've finished painting a complex camo scheme.
Certain paints require a primer coat to adhere well. You can technically paint without primer, but expect the coat (especially if it is a large surface) to flake off eventually.
