I don't know, not having tested it. I've been using it for painting 3D resin printed models. Where not painted with a final acrylic coat, I've always applied a clear plasticoat spray. It's a primer, not a final finish, so best guess would be no.

Wash model first make sure dry then spray with primer. Primer is acrylic based so can use paints over it.

Indeed it can. This is a primer and colour in one spray.
