   you could prob get the spray you need down a local halfords, whatever you spray will need to be sprayed with primer first.

   Halfords is cheaper, just any colour spray will do
   
   plastic primer
   paint
   clear laquer

   Get some plastikoat(think thats the right name) i`ve found you get a much better finish with it available in Hellfrauds you still need a plastic primer coat though.

   rubbing down inbetween coats imo makes it worse, as long as you apply really thin coats of paint/primer/laquer you wont need to rub down.
   
   if you apply really thin light coats, do about 5 of each
