Best way to paint an FP bucket

[Romuloid]

So my bucket is on its way from FP. It's the unpainted version, so I've been wondering how I should go about painting it. Any suggestions?

Mine came the same way. I did a lot of wet sanding (400-2000 grit) followed by multiple coats of grey automotive primer and sanding in between coats. After that I hit it with some Krylon gloss paint that matched the color of my robes (which I bought into the store to find the right color). It was high gloss and I did 2 or 3 coats with wet sanding in between. After that I hit it with some clear coat.

Thanks. Where'd you get the paint from?

I had my painted and clear coated by a autobody shop. Brought my outer robe in to them and they matched the paint....worth the $150 I paid.
