Going to spray centres gloss black, any tips?

What primer to use and how many coats?
What type of paint? Will a halfords gloss black do the job?
How many coats of paint?
How many coats of lacquer?

Cheers!

id get the paint from a paint shop. they will mix it to exactly the colour you want. its better quality. you need to put enough coats on to get good coverage and enough so that you wont rub through when you cut back/flatten the paint off

its good to build up lightly. but the last coat should be a bit hweavier to ger a nice finish. as long as you dont go stupid and get runs/sags in the paint you will be ok. this is how iv sprayed cars and have had great results. ta
