It would probably be best to scuff the primer, maybe some 400 grit to get better adhesion. All you will need to do is sand enough to break the glaze off the top of the primer.... Should be enough to get good chemical and mechanical adhesion with some light sanding. The grit required depends on the primer used and how long it's been on there. Might be best to check the product sheet for the primer used and see what their recomendation is for sanding the primer prior to paint, then I'd think one grit more coarse would work just fine.

I'm with Dave on the bedliner. We used them on both T's and I had to remove some in one spot during the build and it was like taking concrete off.....very tough stuff. Super easy to apply with a brush or roller, but wear LOTS of protective clothing and cover your head up too, otherwise you will also be wearing bedliner for a few weeks to come.
