you guys remember color by numbers, right? I need some help...

I've never successfully painted anything in my life (including the walls in the living room as the paint melted off the wall and soaked into the carpet... I'm still in trouble for that one)... so any guidance will help no matter what...

I've removed the covering from a large warbird and am about to put 3/4 oz fiberglass with WestSystems 105 over the entire model. Once that's done, sanded, and patched as need I need to paint it (paint instead of covering is the goal).

I have a color scheme in mind (base white with royal blue highlights and blue/white checkerboard fore and aft).

I understand from reading that I need a light grey primer... Krylon? Rustoleum? once primed - lightly wet-sanded with 400 grit sandpaper.

Dry it with a lint free cloth and then shoot my white base coat (white - Krylon? Rustoleum?) let it dry then tape it off for high-lights and checkerboard. shoot my blue (again, which paint?)

lightly wet sand it with 1000 grit paper.

The spray some sort of clear coat (w catalyst?) on it to make it "pop" (look really good).

Am it on the right track?
