Media blast to remove all paint and to give the surface a slight even key, then paint very lightly with standard aresols from halfords in a colour of your choice. Avoid metallics as these don't look right on scale models!
I have a media blaster at work if you would like it doing, will only cost you the price of return postage

I actually work for a blasting company myself lol well sort of we do have a grit blaster its not our main thing though shot peening is. TBH i dont want to blast it i would rather just rub it down cba to take it to work lol
i think the colour may be metalic tbh, no primer?
also i need to fill some holes will normal car filler do the trick?

Nitromore's it, then wash it.
Spray with Halfords primer, colour then clear.
Job done. lol
Body fillers fine, its what I use anyway.
