Read all about it here,Easy light filler is the bets stuff to use simple reason it sands and does not shrink and can be used on any surface,as for paint it is a personal choice,I prefer to use Halfords acrylic simple to use and easy to obtain.
These are reccomended by a professional painter of over 25yrs standing
