    One Carb Or Two?

Just bought some fibreglass gel coated group 2 arches and I'm waning them to be sprayed up in Rover black. After ringing round a few places near me the quotes ranged from around £100 to £205 + VAT. I'm thinking of now spraying these myself. I already have a suitable paint sprayer (thanks to Dad's old job). Im wanting to use standard paint and none of this 2k stuff. If it all goes wrong I can always pay for them to be sprayed up by a pro, but i might aswell give it a try first.

Which primer should I use, and where can I get it from?
Also where can I get around a litre of Rover black paint and suitable laquer?

Cheers, Jam2005 :grin:
