painting parts of car at home, what paint to use

[notthekingswood]

I have a track car and at the moment it has a mix of white and silver panels.
I want to paint the bumpers and 1 door white to match the body,
I am doing this at home so not really wanting to spray 2pac but i already have the paint and gear for 2pac
I'd prefer not to paint acrylic as its more work to get a shine plus i have found that when its painted over old paint it can lift the paint off
so can i just paint single stage enamel? I have painted a bike in duplicolor black and i was impressed with results
but will single stage last more than a year or so? i have heard the sun and weather can damage it.

also can i use acrylic primer filler under enamel?

here is the beast....owes me just on $700 as is so its a true budget build

track only?

just use a roller and some fence paint!

happy to use single stage enamel but heard it doesn't last in direct sun, is this the case?
i could use a roller and house paint but i don't want to be the slowest uncordinated driver plus have the worse looking car its bad enough i bought myself another commodore.
least if i can make the car pretty hopefully i won't get laughed off the track

hitting a wall at 150 will probably rip the paint off quicker than the sun haha then back to square one...

you have 2pac paint and gear, just use that.

you never know if you are slow in a pretty car you will get laughed off the track!!!

personally: id rather show up in a munter than in something pretty. people tend to pay less attention if youre in a POS.

enamel will be fine mate. i believe the early commos were painted in enamel anyway.
