I`m about to paint some small resin parts for my 1/18 gtv wheel centers, and could use all the help /advice and guidance i can get.I will be using a spray can from Auto one.The total area i will be spraying is no bigger than a twenty cent piece.I know that pics would make things alot more interesting and possibly help me some more but i don't have any at this stage.

So i have my colour from Auto one and primer and also now know i need to clean the resin parts with warm soapy water is there anything else i need to know .

Sounds like you pretty much have it, I don't know if you guys have access to an item called Westleys Bleach White, or not, but thats the best stuff to use to clean resin,
