    Painting metal, and fibreglass panels (track car)

    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

    make sure you wear a GOOD mask when using the etch primer its pure evil fella , what colour you doing it a solid colour ??? using standofleet is a very good product and goes a long way

    mask wont be a problem, iv not 100% decided on the colour yet, im not an out there person when comes to colour but been a track car i do fancy something bright but i know the car wont be able to pull off anything to crazy like green/orange and im not liking red, hate black (and its matt black at moment) but i think it may be able to pull off a yellow ? white wheels ? with bits inside and engine bay black and red,

    that or just plain old white
