Spraying first board

Yo

After some help on what sort of paint I need to use to spray a surfboard with, and if you have to lacquer it or anything after your finished spraying?

You don't have to. But it'll wear off over time if you don't.

Any kind of sealant should be good (as long as it sin't something weird that reacts with your gloss coat).

A PU/PE sealant is the go in most cases.

Cheers for that.

Is there a specific type of paint I should use?

More like car paint I think. What we call "rattle cans" over here.
