Post Paint Recommendations.
I'm going to look at my bodywork soon as I've spent the last few weeks rebuilding the garage roof, so the coupe can now go inside, and the weather is perking up.

I've bought a couple of compressors that i've linked together (so 50 litre 14cfm), a doozey of a spray gun that's about 40 years old, and I think with a bit of practice i'll be able to get a half decent finish.

So what paint-wise do I need to buy? It'll be on bare Gelcoat and filler.

If concensus is for 2-pack, I do have access to activated carbon face masks - and an air fed mask shouldn't be too hard to cobble together.

Current colour choice is solid dark grey - this might change.

If you have the facilities to spray it safely 2 pack is far better than cellulose on GRP.

Make sure you get a suitable plastics primer/ adhesion promoter when you get the primer and paint.
