Re: paint
When I sprayed my truck, I used a layer of red oxide, that was just put on after it was blaster, then a layer of isolayter, that is key if you want the paint to stick and if your terrible at painting like me !!!!
Then I used three coats of mercades signal two pack MIPA red,
Two pack is the best paint as it goes so hard !!
The first time I sprayed mine I used synthetic paint and it went horribly wrong !!

Re: paint
Don't say that mike I'm using synthetic for mine again! It worked fine the first time round so hopefully it will again! 
I've ordered mine in a kit though so all the thinners and primer are 100% compatible (I hope ) It's quite strange that yours reacted so badly with synthetic there isn't many types of paint it will react with as a top coat 
however it will react really bad if you use a cellulose based paint on top of synthetic only reason I use synthetic is that it's nice and easy to touch up.

I haven't yet decided whether or not to spray this time or roller mine again?dan_2k_uk wrote:spray! pffft!
Either way my paint has arrived now
Re: paint
I use rustoleum, Just finished painting my camper in in with a roller and with a bit of finishing most people don't believe its not sprayed...
One tin at £25 will do the whole truck and no need to prime. Only thing is it takes a few days to fully harden. I put it on with a B&Q gloss roller.
You want combicolor metal paint. - i buy it from here.. rustoleum.co.uk
