Thanks....

don't skimp on the prep work... after the primer is on and you sand, the surface has to be perfect, any imperfections, will show with paint...
as for the paint itself, you can use a rattle can or paint gun....
if you use automotive paint, there are 2 types...
1 step and 2 step... obviously the 2 step is with clear coat...
1 step is much cheaper....
i would try trd's suggestion with the rattle can, and if you don't like it you can always sand it off,
i painted my own body kit, but left my rs grille chrome... if you wanna try painting with a gun, let me know, i can give you some pointers...
good luck...
