Default Glassing and painting methods

Hi all! I am looking for info on the best glassing and painting methods for classic planes that will produce a quality and fuel proof finish. I have trolled forums for good methods, like the Fantasista build thread and the Black Magic threads, but there’s a whirlwind of different methods and products. From what I can see, 20gsm silk and applied with sanding sealer appears to be a good method for getting a nice finish, mixed with talc and sanded down several times. I am not sure however about the what makes a decent spraygun, paint choice, and clearcoat choice (complete beginner). So I’m looking to see what methods and products people use and what works for them 🙂 the more info the better! Thanks!
