Is there anything you can do in the preparation stage as to stop a bodykit sucking up all the fcukin paint you offer it? like coating it in PVA i dunno if that would work just guessing really!

nah, it wont do that, fibreglass kits has a gel coating on them which makes them smooth etc.. just sand the shine off this then prime and paint as normal.

I would'nt advise sanding through the gel coat, as this WILL reveal a pourous surface.
You will then need to fill each individual pin hole, that you will find in the resin and fibres under the gel.
A double gelled item is better for a good sand and paint job
