hey guys. i just recently bought a rear lip. i plan to by front splitters soon to complete the look (already got factory sideskirts). anyways, i plan on doing everything myself. im gonna paint it myself and install it myself. its a self pride kinda thing. i dont want anyone else doing anything to my car. plus its expensive

anyways, im not sure what paints i should use, how many coats to use etc. if anyone could give me a guide or a few pointers it would be very helpful. i tried using the search function here but it didnt turn out so well for me....

The first thing I did when I wanted to paint my car was buy a book and go from there. From what the book says is not to use lacquers, which is what is in most spray cans, it doesn't hold up well no matter how many coats you put. I don't have any experience painting body parts with spray cans but I did buy a gravity feed gun. And I can tell you that I made a mistake using lacquer as a primer, because know the paint is chipping off. I would advise spending the money you have to, to get good quality paint or you'll just end up repainting.
