priming is a bottom coat underneath the paint. it's what you would do if painting bare metal before applying the paint. "primer" is a special paint that sticks to the surface and accepts paint really well.

PLA is very hard to paint, so primer is necessary. with a purchased miniature it depends on the resin or material they used, some you can just paint directly but others it just flakes off. whether doing PLA or resin 3D printing I would absolutely prime before painting.

also make sure you get primer and not primer + paint. some of them are a one step primer+paint and you do not want that for this.
