to paint if yourseld would cost as much as paying a shop to do it. im getting mine painted for 115$. to paint it urself right, you need the oem paint, hardener, and clear coat. you will need a spray gun and compressor. any other way looks ghetto rigged. you cant just buy a brush and paint it.

i called my dealer and they refered me to a shop who quoted me 125-150$, so even ur dealer can help u out.

If i was you i would have a shop do it.

but if you still want to

First look it over for pin holes and inperfections and fill them in with blue putty then you want to wet sand it with 360 sand paper and a sanding block. Then you want to tack rag it then shoot your base color then shoot your pearl if you have one allow time to dry between coats. Last shoot your clear. After the clear is dry give a week then wet sand with 1500 sand paper to remove orange peel and buff with compound. make sure to use the reducers, hardener, and actovators as directed.

The only thing i dont know how to do is set the gun to spray properly. As team members from my car club helped me shot my wing and they work at a body shop.
