Okay, so i have a painting project or two or maybe more coming up.
1. KS Rada Grill (is navy blue, want it the same charcoal colour as my car)
2. KR Rada front and rear bumper (is currently navy blue and siena grey, want i charcoal)
3. SE Spoiler (is navy blue, want it charcoal)

What are the steps i go about?
I know first u sand (wet and dry) and prime
Then let sit, then spray colour in layers.
Can i get a more step by step guide, with advice, tips and things to watch out for.
Also a list of the products i will need, and where i will need to use them

Here is a pic of my car, so u know the current colour.

if the original paint is sound(not flaking, faded or generally crap) you can paint directly on to it without the need for primer. a light sand with some wet'n'dry, a scuff up with some automotive scotchbrite in the nooks and crannies followed by a good prepsol(solvent cleaner) and you can apply your paint directly onto the old finish. primer isn't always neccesary. however plastic primer should always be used when painting onto raw plastics.

Cheers muchly, The grill is mint, so i might take the short cut method... however! The Bars i haven't got yet, but they don't look ****, but they look old.
