Cheers Rob Not much prep work really, just the same as you've got planned aside from the undercoats, aside from the paint being flatted down already in parts, the body work was mint, no rust bubbles,etc, so i just did a light sand/flat down, then as many coats of matt on each panel as I had paint. The paint is about 7 quid a can, and I used 11, each panel got at least 4 coats, its not been in really hot sun yet cos of the time of year but my mates metro was done early last year and had no problems with it peeling in the summer, if you get enough coats on the panels its fine, just be careful if you jet wash it.
