Default primer help ?

hi,
i am new to construction methods and am a bit confused. i fiberglass sheeted surfases and i want to paint them.
i used epoxy finishing resin. is it posible epoxy resin to produse wax or wax is prodused only with fiberglasing polyester resins?
i see that many suggests to wipe the glased surfase with alcohol before sanding.
also i found automotive primers that is caled 4+1 or 3+1 (bodyfiller brand).this mean that i use 3 parts primer and 1 part hardener.also if i want to thin the mixture i do this with acryl thinner to 10-15%.
i know that there is many product from hobby shops that is exactly for this task but in the area i live there is no hobby shop.considerind that these chemicals are dangerus it is dificult to order them from internet.
so the only solution i have is to use automotive materials paints ant primers. i read on the can that it is " high build primer"
can i use this primer?????
on the bare wood?
also found many primers that are thined with nitro . nitro= acryl ??
any sugestions?
i am new to kit building and tryind to figure things out. can i shoot primer and paint with same air gun? (i have 1mm needle)
do i need extra needles and wich sizes?
any help will be apresiated.
thanks very much
