I took into consideration the different qualities of the paints available to me and the lacquer paint appealed to me due to the fact that it can be recoated anytime. So if I take a few days wet sanding it won't be an issue with it not adhering to the previous coat. I also figured if I get chips I can just sand and recoat the chipped areas. Cause it will still adhere to the previous coats. Another reason I liked the lacquer paint is it's not expensive and if you use the primer, color and clear from the same manufacturer it claims to be scratch and chip resistant. I'm also priming the plastics with an adhesion promoter before using the lacquer. And the bare metal is being primed with etching primer before the lacquer paint. I think I'm approaching this as best as possible for the best outcome. I haven't seen a pre-gen painted these colors before so it's going to look very unique. When it's done I'll post pictures. Then you can see the colors I picked.
