painting over powdercoat

I have some parts for my s2 that are powder coated. How do I paint over them. They have an orange peel type effect
Do I flat it back and then apply a filler primer?
Can I apply filler to flat backed powder coat ?
Can I flat back powder coat then apply a clear coat over it?

You can treat it the same as any other painted finish when it comes to overcoating it.
It makes a very stable substrate.

Thanks for your reply.
Do it just need a normal filler primer.
Can filler be applied over powder coat?

Filler is fine, just make sure you scuff the powder well first.
Ordinary primer, filler or otherwise is fine.
