What type of paint is best
Got a few areas to repaint, anyone got any experience of spraying using an aerosol. I was wondering which would be best 2k, or 1k. and which primer is good for for metal and which for plastic bumpers. I am spraying where i have deleted the light washer jets, side indicators in the wing and a roof panel. any advise would be greatly appreciated.

I wouldn't use an aerosol (rattle can) on an exterior surface of a car, unless it was black trim like a Targa bar, or a race car. For a decent lower cost epoxy primer, Kirker Enduro Prime is a good 2K bare metal primer, but you want to topcoat it with sanding/filler primer or body filler within the recommended time window (5 days IIRC).

Rattle can primer is fine, although you won't find a real 2k primer in aerosol. 2k primer requires a hardener and sprays on much much thicker than a 1k. If you are using body filler then 2k is the way to go, if you are just sanding down some scratches or chips then 1k. I would not recommend rattle can spraying color or clear, it won't look good.
