There is no need to aply primer unless you rub down to bare metal, you only need lacquer if its a clear over base, and 2 tone paint is when its painted a different colour on top from the bottom.

If you don't have the skills, or facilities to respray using a gun and compressor, then using a roller based system such as rustoleum, will provide far better results than rattle cans will. With a few coats and a little flatting back afterwards, you can acheive some really impressive results using rustoleum and a roller, there are many websites dedicated to it's use so have a search online and check it out.

My mistake, should have proof read my post. I meant that lacquer should be applied if it's a two stage paint, somehow I got that mixed up with two tone

I'd try and just live with your current paint, until you've saved for someone to paint it in 2k/waterbased, will be worth the wait.

You can get a good finish with rattle cans, but you do need to put a good few coats on. I would recommend looking at getting som 'fat caps' from a graffiti shop to get a decent spray pattern. Thing to keep in mind is that you're going to need 10-15 cans to get enough coverage to flat back to a shine, so it's not that cheap.
it will be roughly £150....but thats cheaper and easier than a respray as i can work on a pannel at a time...well thats what i thought anyway
