>From what I understand a lighter colour (sans white), will help, also, use
an enamel based paint as it can "fill in" minor imperfections and smooth out
nicely. Enamel is also harder and more durable then the acrylic base/clear.
How do I know this? The TR3a just came back from the body shop and they did
the underside, engine compartment, interior, boot and spare tire compartment
in enamel. The rest of the car is acrylic.
The spit is currently french blue and in enamel, you have to look hard to
find the imperfections.
Hope it helps
