So I am about the tackle this. I sanded the fiberglass body section using 220 sandpaper then a green pad to smooth it out. Then I degreased everything and washed everything off. Everything is taped off.
I bought SEM Trim Black Primer in a can not aerosol
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/smm-39671 and another can in the SEM Trim black paint to top it off

I will be doing the fiberglass body, trim around the front windshield, license plate trim, plastic pieces on stainless panels, radiator cover, rear engine cover and louver, and the engine air box.
PLEASE give me any pointers or recommendations, as I want this to go correct and not have any problems now or in future.
I do have a few question.
1. The primer can writes 25-30 psi from non-HVLP, 8-10 psi from HVLP. I bought a spray gun from Harbor Freight
http://www.harborfreight.com/heavy-d...gun-97855.html The gun writes to use between 60-115psi. Now what would I adjust my air compressor to in this case??
2. 2-3 light coats, 5-10 minutes flash time. I take it they mean each coat should be within 5-10 minutes and all that depends on the temperature? Here in NY its high 80's and dry, no humid these past few days.
3. Topcoat after 1 hour and within in 24 hours. What do they mean by that exactly, topcoat after 1 hour of finishing the primer or if not within 1 hour to wait 24 hours later??
If someone can explain in details, I want everything to go right.
Thank you very much!!
