Spray painting interior

Hello all,
Does anyone have any tips on how to prep the interior for paint, and any good suppliers of aerosol cans (with a guide of how many I may get through :) )

I was thinking of just scotchbriting everything with a red scotch pad, etch priming any bare metal areas (roll cage boxes etc.) and then laying down a few coats of colour.

Thanks in advance.

I used about 8 cans of colour matched aerosol base coat, scotch and panel wipe for prep, or gun wash thinners :D

Wow that's a lot more than I was expecting.
In that case, it will probably be easier to get the compressor out and buy a couple of litres of paint.

Wouldn't have really bothered spraying the inside but have popped a safety devices bolt in cage in and need to spray up the boxes etc. :cool:

How many coats did you put on Dan?

Cheers

Yep, aerosol paint is piss thin and gives poor coverage, at least 2 coats to cover the factory primer, maybe more, it was a while ago :)
