We started doing this to my mates almera sri the other week.

Gave it a good clean with citrus degreaser, keyed it up (quite coarse paper) and used hykote plastic primer.

Masked a window so we could still tell the coolant level

Image

and away we went

primed

Image

then used std gloss black/body colour paint. allowing to dry properly between coats.
