Stay away from septone aerosol primers and primer fillers. as of late, it seems as though the mongrels have been thinning out their product (watering
down). 
Motorspray has been briliant. (as a product, not a location)

Depends if you live north or south..I live south and use Lonsdale Paints..he sells to the trade and knows his products and their application. You
could go to Crash Supplies S.A. or maybe buy direct from your crash repairer if you are friendly with one..Thats what I do.Buying from a crash shop
supplier or crash shop means you buy quality gear like decent sanding sheets that dont clog up after 5 mins..lol.

No worries..Lonsdale paints are near the Lonsdale pub. He stocks Protec acrylic and 2 pak paints, KBS rust bullet for sealing off your floor pan etc.
All sanding gear etc. He reasonably priced too. He can match interior trim paint into cans and also makes 2pak colours mixed into pressure packs.For
the DIY person they are perfect as they are always willing to help out and offer advice.Good luck with the resto!.

Heres a pic of my Scorpion that was painted with protec 2pak from Lonsdale Paints.The body work and paint was done by myself and a mate who does
resprays from home. My mate can do full resprays or repairs and works in both 2pak and acrylic he lives up the top of willunga hill if your interested
I can give you his number..No job too small for him either..

Lonsdale paints sounds great. I would recommend crash supplies, but remember to buy the right air filter mask if going two pak. A decent gun will do
you the world of good too, and an air compressor with enough storage and supply strength. I would recommend gravity fed not suction as you use much
less air and less over spray. Devilbiss has great gear but may be overpriced for the home painter. Look into HPLV AND LPHV guns.
I think paint supplies of SA does 2pak starter kits and the owner owns two vws ones a blue buggy.
Good luck.
PS like the tip about better quality sand paper
