After buying a compressor and a spray gun :) I am now about to embark on my very first respray.

Can anyone recommend a good paint and a good place to buy it?
And can anyone give me an idea of how much thinners and lacquer i will need for my 110 please.

Thanks in advance

Gonna go for a dark brown.... cue the stick
 
That's really helpful thanks guys

Is lacquer a necessity? If so how much dya reckon I'll need
 
I'd recommend avoiding synthetic (alkyd) enamel.it is a very outdated paint, horribly slow to dry (weeks before mine resisted fingernail marks) - so rubbing down between coats takes days, eventually very hard to the point where it chips easily and perhaps worst of all, I've been led to believe it doesn't take to being machine polished. (Haven't risked polishing mine yet).

I very much wish I'd paid more and chosen something better.

Depends what you want, Iv used some one part urethane from trade paints which has been good. Drying time similar to cellulose and you can leave the mix in a paint pot as its not catalysed which is handy if you dont have time to get all the work you want done at once.
