   you should always prime first give the job a better finish

   you need to score the drill first use a scouring pad (only lightely though)
   good clean using pannel wipe
   make sure its all dry
   3 or 4 coats of primer
   4 or 5 coats of paint
   4 or 5 coats of laquer
   
   in between each got leave 10 - 20 mins depending on how heavy the coats are
   leave a few hours for primer to dry before applying paint
   start applying laquer when paint is slightly tacky
   
   leave to dry as long as possible
