   spary painting haha.
   
   Youll need plastic primer, the apint you want gloss black, and laquer. Youll also need to do it in a room with constant warm temp or the painbt will look dull

   i normaly do a light sand, primer it. then spray the colour and then laquer
   
   some times you can get away with not primering the plastic but 9/10 times it will not take

   No, that would be a bad bad idea as all the crap flying about in the air would go into the paint and the paint wouldnt dry right.
   
   And yeah, heavy sanding with light sandpaper before the primer, then light sanding with light paper between each coat of primer and paint

   It would be better yeah, as long as theres no wind going through it and loads of dust. If you put a heater in there it should dry better i think

    apply plastick primer: then your high build primer apply a few thin coats then sand down with 600 or finer sand paper apply colour another couple of layers sand with 1500+ went and dry then apply laque...then sand the laque with 2000+ and buff up.....
    
    yeah a shed would be good but could do with an open window to clear fumes i just do mine in the door way of my garage and worked perfectly did my whole VT* kit and other bits and bob's
    
    thats it in short basically
    
    hope that helps
    
    regards
