Painting?

I need to paint a fiberglass hardtop. I see this as an opportunity to  build 
up to painting cars. 
I have a HPLV gun and adequate air supply. 
 
I have an extra single car garage outbuilding, which I will line with  
plastic (floor ceiling and walls, and rig up some ventilation. How big an  
exhaust 
fan should I use? What kind of filters should I use at the intake  vent?
 
Now the hardtop.
Textured on the inside, so I will just clean and spray.
The outside has paint, with some scratches on the paint surface. I am  
painting it white and applying a Union Jack vinyl decal. So there will be 
enough  
going on not to notice my paint job.
Do I need to sand off all of the paint or just break the surface? 
What grit should I use?
 
Do I need to prime fiberglass? If so is there a special primer?
 
Now paint. What type is the easiest to apply, and how much do I need?
