Milion Questions

Hello all, new to the forums heard a lot of great things about SPI products. I have several different questions all that could be placed in different forums, but I wanted to condense it to one post so there isn't posts all over the place. I am in the process of repainting an old toy hauler for sale (02 Escalade EXT). There is some maintenance I need to take care of prior to painting, plan to be done in a week. Just a small background I use a HVLP gun for primer and a turbine system for BC/CC.

1) Primer
In the past, I have always used self-etching primer. I have heard good things about SPI's epoxy primer. Some areas will have body work, some areas will have existing paint/primer (sanded). Would you recommend using epoxy primer on all surfaces instead of just priming repair areas?

Plan on using SPI's Black BC, heard good things.

2) See Attached photo. This is a plastic trim panel. Type of plastic, no clue. I plan on removing all trim tomorrow. If you have any suggestions on repair please let me know. Or if you happen to know what type of plastic it is.

3) Another Attached photo. Sample layout of garage (width is actually 13'). There are 3 3' x 6' windows to the right. Using 3 speed viking air mover (3000CFM), plan on doing some duct work with charcoal filters (minimize odors). There is a duct that runs under the house into the garage (intake from outside). I plan on using a furnace filter and another air mover in front of that. Do you recommend air intake if you are just spraying then leaving? In my old spray set up (different house) I just used a bathroom vent fan in paint area and opened the garage door on other side when I was done spraying.

Sorry if this is in the wrong subforum. Just didn't want posts all over the place.
 
If you are using regular fans for moving fumes be warned any sparks they generate can cause combustion. How large are the repair areas? If these are just small random spots then spot priming may make sense, if there's repairs everywhere then priming entire panels makes sense.
