The body shop repaired all of the body parts, sanded them and primiered them ready to be painted. This is how it is now. So that the mold won't stick to the primer what is the best thing to do? Do I have to paint the parts or atleast clearcoat them?

If it is a 2k primer that is very well cured you are probably fine with any mould release. I would personally recommend a wax based system. But be aware that painting of the panels afterwards will be a nightmare as mould releases are very hard to get rid off...
