Disregard the instructions and mix it as follows.
8 parts paint
1 part hardener
1/2 part reducer
The instructions will tell you 1 part reducer but it make the paint to thin and the coverage sucks, it will also run easier.
As for primer you should be fine with any 2 component primer, I use ppg myself but there are less expensive options out there. If you can look for a primer that's DTM ( direct to metal ), this will save you from having to buy a separate epoxy primer. I also recommend getting light gray or white primer as the white and yellow paint take forever to cover the darker grays.
