firstly start by cleaning any panels your going to paint with petrol....this will get rid of any silicones.

then, sand the panels down with 1200grit paper (this will give the paint summit to stick to)

then, apply primer (aim for a light dust over 1st, then apply 2 good coats)

then rub the primer down with 1200 and repeat as above if neccesary

then apply 2 good coats off the colour coat and leave to dry

get the laquer apply 3 good quotes!! there ya go.
