Been reading a lot of the how to's on here and they've been a great help, so thanks a lot everyone, especially teal_dx 
Ive been messing about trying to sort out my rust etc ever since i bought my car, ive never been shown what to do so its been trial and error really... turned out well sometimes and rubbish other times
Im planning on giving the whole car a once over since summers coming up and ill be off uni, but need a bit of advice before i start...
So first up i have to fill any dents etc, that bits okay...
But for primer, is the normal grey primer okay to use or should i use a different colour? (my cars teal)
After ive primed, you rub it down then put colour on, but do you colour sand before you put a lacquer on, or just spray on the lacquer on top of the colour?
After ive put the laquer on, is a week long enough to leave it before lightly sanding it and polishing?
Any help is very appreciated
