Hello there my painting chums.


Finally pay-day is tomorrow, so I'm looking at what paints and fillers to start buying. I've been reading up on all the guides and such, and think i know what I need, but i have no idea which brands to buy. Since I'm using metal ready as a conditioner, I was gonna go for all the POR-15 stuff, but that seems really very expensive. Here's what I think i need.


Etch Primer - A car's worth
Primer Thinners?
Filler
Stopper- TopStop? (I can't find this stuff)
Cellulose Primer- A car's worth
Cellulose Thinners ?


I'm hoping to keep spenditure on this stuff down to a minimum, but at the same time don't want to sacrafice a good finish. Is anyone able to suggest a good, economical brand list of these items that won't react with one another? ideally, i'd like to spend no more than £80-£100 on this stuff, is that unrealistic?

Thanks as always fellas.
