If you use a 100% acrylic primer on bare drywall, you should have no problem with top coating it with any sheen wall paint. Many flats are self priming on bare drywall though, so you may be able to save some money there. Just ask the paint store what the recommended primer is to determine what the most economical solution is.
For exterior work, use a block fill primer for bare block, a hot stucco primer for new masonry less than a month old with a pH of 13 or less (check with a pH pencil) or a 100% acrylic exterior primer for any bare wood surface or bare masonry surface over 30 days old.

If the primer was a water based primer, then you are in trouble. If it was, then you need to strip it down to the metal and use either an oil based primer or I would use a primer made by Rustoleum.
