    depends , light colored primer to make it lighter or vica versa, a white or gre would prob be best,, if your painting plastics its best to have a plastic primer ;)

    it looks like you didnt flat the primer in those pics, did ya?

    on primers though, you only need it if you painting on bare plastics and not over paint. it light coat will help to even the tone of the panels before painting though, otherwise you'll be using a lot more final colour to get it uniform.

    get yourself some P1500 and P2000, flatten that paint you've done before laquering it and then five it a final coating of blue. it will look a lot flatter and less textured, then laquer it with a few coats and when dry you can flatten the laquer the same way. then tcut it to a shine and finish it with wax. you'll have a lovely finish then. :)

    Looks good. :)

    as far as wax goes, have you polished it yet?

    if not id reccomend getting some blue t-cut and giving it a good hard polish. then when thats done you can give it a final run over with some sort of wax, any decent car wax will do, I like the autoglym ones. :)
