Question Painting car

Hello fellow toyota drivers...I was wondering how easy is it to paint several parts on your car? I bought a TRD body kit for my Cam and I looked up some paint codes on the "search" tooll above thats nice and flashy and found some codes...but my main question is that where can I find these OEM paints and primer on the net. I'm planning to paint this kit but I wanna make sure I get the right paint....

I have that gold or beige looking color "colour" on my Cam does anyone know where I can get the OEM paint from?

Also if anyone can be a nice person and share there painting experience that would be nice....

My advice would be to go to a paint shop with the right paint code. That's what I did a few years ago when I painted a VW Golf. I had a terrible experience with that btw. That is very funny when I think back of it but it was such a difficult work, such an ugly work and disapointing result I had, I wasn't really proud I can garantee you I wouldn't do it again. Good luck to you anyway !
