	Coach enamel. I've just done mine and its great stuff-really easy to use. I sprayed it but it will brush on fine especially if you heat it up because then it shrinks and contracts as it cools/dries and the brush marks disappear. It's also much cheaper than 2 pack or other car paint (tenner a litre) and its white spirit based. Find it on eBay. Primer depends on what your painting-ally or fiberglass..

	i just used emulsion! depends what your doing with it! mine was painted for festivals! if paint is sound should be easy with enamel. if its flaked back to ali you may have issues getting it to stick without primer
