primer will give you the smoothest possible surface for spraying. If you think its very smooth give it a light sand and just spray it. Remember the better you prepare and the more effort you put in the better it will turn out.
also... do i need to prime it if it's a smooth surface? can i just sand it down smoothly and paint over it?
What exactly are you painting bro?
You've got an extremely nice car, make sure whatever it is you're painting is replaceable/repaireable etc in case you stuff up (if it's a big interior piece eg. trims or dash etc)

You can get plastic paints which would probably good for that.
I think VHT will be fine for what you want to do. just give the surface a nice clean. make sure theres no dirt or anything on your piece. give it a 2-3 coats of primer and a couple coats of paint...done. if you want it to last use primer. if your not fussed you could just give it a spray over, will look fine but probably wont last as long and will peel after a while
Nice write up, and thank for the more descriptive, in depth post afterward. Very helpful!
Question, what do you think would be my best option to fix the clear flaking on my roof?
You could lightly wet sand it and re-spray some clear over it however this is only a short term solution. In order to properly fix this you will need to sand back all the damaged material, prime then prep and finish.
