I did it on my Fiat Spider.  I called the manufacturer and they told me
that POR-15 will accept most primers as long as they are applied while
the POR-15 is still tacky. Once it has fully dried, you can only paint
over with topcoat.  On my Spider the POR-15 seemed to accept the primer
fine according to these directions. (It has been about 6 months so I
can't speak for longevity, but no reason to suspect otherwise.)

Incidentally, for those who aren't aware, The Bus Depot does sell
POR-15.
