Hi all im starting to look into painting my track nova, ideally i would like to find a primer and paint that will be fine on metal (inside,shell) and fibreglass (wings, bonnet, boot, doors)

i will be using compressor/gun panel at a time not massively bothered about possible shade differences

2 pack etch primer ?
2k acrylic ?

how much will i need to do a full car inside and out (only really ever done panels before)

any advice/pictures/threads/project links would be great

Thank you

I have used mipa rapidfiller primer it's a self etching filler primer that comes out a yellow colour, I painted my fibreglass bonnet in it and my cars coated in the stuff. Hope it helps
