    Are you going to be using a spray gun or spray cans, if your using spray cans you’re going to need a grey primer get from Halfords a top colour and a lacquer, for a better shine do more coats of lacquer.

    get as much of the paint off as you can first use nitromoris with appropritae breathing mask and use it outside...
