All for seeing you giving it a go, but I take it the parts you're spraying weren't involved in this £1700 respray?

yep me
primer will be 50/50 primer/hardener, thinners wise it depends how thick you want it, what jet your using, and how much you want to load it up
paint wise, 2:1 paint:hardener, and the same with your paint as the primer, but its how you spray is to how thin you want your paint and what temp you'll be doing it,
If you want a good shine youll need it thin but without heat you will risk runs ect as the paint will sag as its not dryingquick enuf,
most of it is down to the sprayers preferences

thinly is risky, im telling you if youve never mixed paint before this will turn out in disaster, believe me, if you go pretty thick with the primer one session of 3 coats should be fine, dusting the first coat on so it keys into the surface,
sanding wise i would wet flat with a 400 grade then once done go on to 800 grade and give it a good go over
