One coat of undercoat, two of spray putty, two top coats and maybe a clear coat. Sand in between coats. Also a search on here will give better tips and the paint types to use.
Wear disposable overalls and a decent mask - not one that comes in a box of 10.

depends where and what u are using mate..
acrylic..
two pack...


best advice i can give is boardfiel it, make sure its straight, frimer, wetrub witha block and move it around constantly, so u dont get any small ridges

teh better prep u do the better the paint will be..


with the wet rub thing, i could see my reflection in the primer, no distortion either

spay putty, im gonna look for it, do you need a huge nozle for that or would normal sizes be alright,

its just going acrylic white, its only to pass blue slip, after that i will go a bit more creative with the paint.

maybe some pin stripping to make it look like some ownes it.
