you can never have too much prep work i.e sanding, filling, masking and wiping down the panels etc. dont skimp on a cheap primer. i would sugest a solvent based paint for first time attempt and a 2k lacquer. tack between coats and use a polishing compound for the final finish but most of all dont rush things

i would do it panel at a time i'm sure you will do a great job !

cool, i just want it to look presentable as i say its going to be for road rallying so it will only be out at night lol
i may do it pannel by pannel as i havnt got much room in my garage.
would you sugest putting up plastic sheets to keep the overspray down as in not gtting any on the rest of my garage?
