Anyways.
IF you want it to look good with spray paint.. do the following.
-sand whatever you are spraying with 400.
-wet sand with 600.
-clean
-primer [if you want]
-spray thin coats of color until it covers to a uniform color.
-not necessary but makes it better, wetsand with 800
-spray clear coat spray paint..again thin layers.
-after a couple layers, wetsand with 1000.
-repeat
-repeat
-wetsand with 1500
-rub with rubbing compound.

the reason you have to repeat so many times is because spray paint goes on so thin.

to let you know... if you REALLY are DEADSET on spray painting... there are some stores that mix spray paint to OEM car colors, usually auto paint stores.

haha, I had gotten some feedback from the thread starter saying i suck at life, so i was appologizing for coming off a little rough. But yeah it can def be done, just follow the steps above. Good luck!
