I would check that the primer is suitable for spraying over 2k first, some are designed to etch metal surfaces.

As coaster said, etch primer is designed for bare metal, I wouldn't use an acid etch primer over any paint, personally I wouldn't use primer out of rattle cans (except to dust over if I cut through any primer) you should be ok with a 2k high build primer though or you could just use a "1K" acrylic primer, either of those should be ok over most paints and can be painted over with 2K
