Epoxy: Primer for epoxy?

Hi All,
I am seeking answers regarding painting over epoxy.

Firstly, a mate of mine is thinking about repainting his epoxy surfboard and I have l laminated some timber to make a step tread for my staircase. It will be painted with an acrylic house paint.

Is some sort of primer required for these projects?

Regarding the surfboard, I suggested that he could paint the lightly sanded board with a marine paint, as I use polyurethane directly on my kayaks. No primer required.

Any thoughts?

Cheers, Craig
